Last Game
To be given the chance to play baseball was one of the greatest times of my life. I played baseball for four years, and every year I made the all-star team. My best friend and I played on every regular season team and every all-star team together. The final game of our career was unforgettable.It had been 4 years of great enjoyment with my best friend, Cody Smith. We always clowned around in practice, but when the game would start we had a high intensity. Cody would pitch, and I would play second base. When he wasn't pitching, I would, and he would play third base. We were the top players in our baseball league, or so we thought.Our all-star team had made it to the championship of our state tournament. Before our team took the field our coach Mr Zamouski gave us a talk. He said, "Well men, we've came a long way. Today's the day we've all practiced so hard for, but I want to have fun with it. Lets treat this like every other game we have won. You're all winners, win or lose. I want you all to know that I feel privileged to have coached such a fine bunch of men. So lets go out and play this game as hard as you can. What do you say, lets go have FUN." We all got
The score kept going back and forth. Before Cody pitched that next ball I knew every player on our team told themselves that they would do whatever it took to get that next out. Getting the chance to play with my best friend and winning the state championship was everything I had ever wanted then. Having such a great and inspiring coach made me feel proud to have won the championship for our coach. He started me throwing and hitting when I was about four-years-old. I spun around and threw that ball with all my power to first base. One, two, three" as we all yelled together "WIN. We took the field and Cody was still pitching. I know I will remember my final game, and all the people that made my baseball career so great for the rest of my life. There were two outs and a runner on third base. The next batter grounded out to end the inning, but the damage had already been done. As for my father, I know he was proud, and I was grateful for all the time and effort he had spent with me. There were a lot of errors because the field was all dirt and felt like concrete; the ball was taking bounces I had never seen before.
