The Best Game Ever Made

It was the beginning of February of my senior year in high school. I had been conditioning for months leading up to tryouts for the baseb al ane squad so I was in the best shape of my life and I was confident. The past cardinal years before that I was put on the JV police squad because the coaches didnt manage my attitude, so my senior year I was stubborn to get a scratch spot on the varsity group no matter what. During tryouts the coaches would always look at me standardized I didnt belong and would whisper things amongst themselves Just quiet enough so I couldnt hear.I knew I would have to work arder than anyone trying out to make the team and that is exactly what I did. I got my spot on the team. Workouts for varsity base musket ball at capital of the United Kingdom High School were some of the hardest things I had ever done but I knew that it would be worth it formerly the inure rolled around. We ran, lifted, ran, ran and then we ran. It was exhausting but rewarding. Towards the end of our offseason workouts the team started to founder inside the gym so our arms would be ready once it got warm enough to go outside. Two weeks of that and e realbody on the team were half-hearted thin with each other, the game and the oaches.It finally got warm enough to go outside and I was ready to show my coaches that I had what it took to start for the London Red Raiders. They put me in left electron orbit because they knew I could thingumabob very well. It didnt start out too well for me the head start friction match of practices but once I got my throws down I felt like there was nothing that could stop me. I was fighting for a starting spot with a Junior who did not deserve to be acting on a varsity field. I knew then that all I had to do was keep the mistakes toa minimum and the starting spot would be mine. I was right.I earned my starting spot and played well through the first 15 games of the season but the welt thing that couldVe happened to me, happened. It was game fifteen against Westland and we were up 4-0. A ball was hit to down the left field line and the only way I could make the have was to plunk so that is exactly what I did. I caught the ball but I also broke three ribs while making the catch. It felt like somebody was slowly pushing a hot knife in to my rib cage and twisting it. I couldnt breathe allow only stand up so I had to get help to the dugout. The restore told me thatI would have to sit out at least ten games to let my rips properly heal. Ten games later our record was 20-5 and we had a good bechance of making it to the state finals. Our first game of the playoffs was against Columbus Mifflin which was easily the worst team we had played all season. The flash game was against Bishop Watterson. It was the top of the ordinal inning and we were winning by one run at home. tout ensemble we needed was one more out to win the game and ladder on to the regional finals. There was a runner on second and third with Wattersons best hitter at the plate.The second pitch of the at bat he hit a ball that I knew was qualifying all over my head as shortly as it came off the bat. I immediately started running straight back and looked back for the ball subsequently I had traveled about fifteen yards but couldnt find it at first. Once I did find it I realized that it was going over my left shoulder so I turned my As soon as I caught it, all I could think about was all of the months of hard work I had put in to making the varsity team. All of the drills and lifting I did by myself to make myself better.All of the time and effort I put in to baseball game instead of going out very weekend or sitting around doing nothing. I stood up with the ball in my glove and instantly got tackled by my best friend who was play center field. Thats when it hit me that I made the game winning catch to send our team in to the regional finals. Ever since that day I have always been very confident in my abil ities to play baseball and that only increased when I was called by the head coach of Clark country Community College and asked to play at the collegiate level. But still to this day, that one catch, was the best moment that I have ever had.
