man i was never really good in english but i hope u feel this story.
baseball is such a wonderful sport and its been so good to me in so many ways. ive been able to travel and see so many great things as well as meet so many great people with baseball. i will never forget when i was 12 and for xmas i got one gift and it was a tpx bat . that was the best gift ever for me and i think my mother understood that i really loved the game. jimmy rollins at this time was the man in my hood and he was doing great things. to see that i said to myself i want to be like him. his dad used to take us to the park and video tape us hitting and we would b out there all day because we just loved the game. in high school i worked so hard with my boys cause we wanted to b the best and it payed off but more because we loved being out there. baseball is a game where u can b from anywhere and be any shape and be good at it. i think thats why we love it cause we r not all the same. i love baseball cause it can teach u about life like how to act when u fail and how to play with others and how u can work hard and be something. hell i was about to go to japan and play against their best and trust me japan is a long way from oakland. like i said god has blessed me with baseball and i was always have a deep love for the game.
