1 The Ultimate Challenge - Hitting a round ball with a round bat. The feeling I would get when I hit the ball. Just consider of a baby that is crying for meals. When that baby gets her bottle the 1st thing you hear is that ahhhhh sound. Oh that ah. When I hit a ball completely I would have that ahhhhh.
two I call it Contentment at a high level. - I played all the time when I was a kid. Some of my favorite memories were from the diamond. When I hit two residence runs in one game off the star pitcher form our High College team. I rounded the bases in full view of our High College coach. I was glowing. When I hit a game ending residence run off Jay Klein. He believed I could only hit singles. Rounding the bases of redemption was a another unique moment for me. When I broke up two no hitters from the star, city league pitcher. I felt like I had created the grade, and that was amazing.
three Easy watching - I can sit in my favored chair and root for Derek Jeter to hit one up the gap. Holding my breath with each pitch delivered to him. Or, I can sit and read the paper and view the events of the game by way of the corner of my eye. Either way is ok with me.
4 I am amazed by what Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig accomplished in their careers. I appear at old film footage, or study about either The Babe or Larripin Lou and constantly really feel awed by the large numbers they each place on the board. From home runs to RBIs to batting typical to runs scored, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig accomplished over and over again.
5 Double my pleasure. - I could play baseball and get a tan at the identical time.
six My sons played and my daughter nonetheless plays. I have had the pleasure of sharing joyous moments with my kids. Times that I will not overlook. Like when my daughter got the game winning hit against Fair Lawn High School final year. We won 1-. I was jumping up and down. I was so excited. I was so happy she delivered.
7 I enjoy all of the statistics. Did you ever see so numerous stats? Runs, RBIs, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, stolen bases etc..... Comparing eras, or comparing players. Duos like Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig how do they stack up against other twosomes. Who had the highest batting typical in a three or 4 or 5 year stint? So numerous statistics to decide on form. It is endless.
8 A spot to excel - I loved taking a hit away from the batter. I felt great stealing a base. Why is it that stealing is negative except in baseball? My satisfaction was heightened by a strong hit. This was the best. Ahhhh. I especially felt wonderful rounding the bases following hitting a homer. I feel I know how Babe Ruth felt when he whacked one particular.
9 My favourite group is the Yankees. Of all the teams I root for in all the expert sports I watch the Yankees are the only team that wins on a relatively standard basis. All my other teams usually drop. It feels good when my team wins.
ten I enjoy the stories. - Like the story Mickey Mantle tells of the time when he very first joined the Yankees. He was not hitting well. His confidence was dwindling. Soon after days of desperation he called his father when he was playing near Oklahoma. Mickey Mantle was hoping his father would give him a pep talk. But when Muck Mantle got to the hotel room exactly where Mickey and the New York Yankees had been staying. Muck did not give his son a pep speak. He did the opposite. Mickeys father told Mickey that he was there to choose up his son and bring him home. Mickeys father stated that he did not know he raised a quitter. Mickey Mantle got the message. He began to hit following his father left. He attributes that meeting with his father as a turning point in his career. I have heard Mickey Mantle tell that story a few occasions on tape or reside. Whenever I hear him tell it I am moved by Mickeys really like for his father.
11 It is just the greatest game.
