Baseball

How to play Baseball:

In Baseball, there is defense and offense,and there are 9 positions. Catcher, pitcher, 1st basemen, 2nd basemen, shortstop, 3rd basemen, left fielder, center fielder, right fielder. The pitcher steps on a ramp and throws the ball to the catcher. He has three strikes to get the batter out. But if he gets 4 balls he walks the batter that means the batter gets to first base automatically. There are different types of pitches also. Fastball, curveball, change-up, screwball, slider. Some pitchers throw different ways. Sidearm, overhead, or submarine. There is a minor league that is a back up team for the major league and switch's them out for the minor league. Offence: So to know who is going to bat, there is something called the batting order and they can switch people. When you go up to bat you have three strikes to swing the bat and four balll to get walked.You can get a single, a double, a triple, a homerun which is a two run homerun, a three run homerun, and a grand-slam which is when you score a four run homerun. One of the most important things in baseball is base running you have to listen to the base coach at 1st base and 3rd base.You can steal the bases and advance to other base.

The Atlanta Braves:

Atlanta braves are a pretty good team. Atlanta Braves baseball has given Atlanta baseball fans plenty to cheer about in the years since the sports franchise moved to Georgia. Since 1966, Atlanta's major-league baseball team has made five trips to the World Series (1991, 1992, 1995, 1996, 1999) and won the coveted championship once (in 1995). More than 20 years before the Atlanta Braves baseball team clinched the World Series title, Atlanta sports fans witnessed a monumental moment in MLB history. In 1974, in the days when the National League baseball team played in Atlanta Stadium, the Atlanta Braves' Hank Aaron batted in his 715th career homer and surpassed Babe Ruth's long-time home run record. Today, Atlanta Stadium the site of Hall of Fame baseball Hank Aaron's historic home run is only a memory, but the excitement of Atlanta Braves baseball continues at Turner Field. The Atlanta ballpark first hosted an Atlanta Braves baseball team home game in 1997. Before it became ''the Home of the Braves," Turner Field stadium was known as Olympic Stadium. The 50,000 seat stadium was originally built for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.called a bunt and you don't swing but you put your bat out in front and let the ball hit the bat. Once you hit the ball you will have to run to run to first base before the first-basemen steps on first base. Once the batter hits the ball the person on first base runs to second before he gets tagged out. It keeps on going. Thats our facts on baseball!

HOW TO PLAY:Offensively- You play offensively by hitting shots that go deep and hard or shots that go short and hard. Those are the kind of shots that an offensive player would hit.

Defensively- You play defensively by hitting lobs (deep and high shots) when a ball comes deep and hard you can hit a lob. You can also use a lob when your opponent is at the net so that they can’t reach it. Those are some shots that a defensive player would hit.

Gymnastics is a sport that develops physical fitness, physical and mental coordination and endurance, and flexibility, balance, and beauty of movements in its athletes. There are a lot of flips here are some… • Back flips • Front flips • Cart-Wheels • Round-Offs • Ariel • Tuck • Layout some flips are hard while others are easy. For example, almost anybody can do a cartwheel and very few people can do an Ariel and a back flip. I know how to do almost all of the flips I just listed because I'm in gymnastics, if you are in gymnastics you can learn how to do lot of flips. You can also have competitions which you can test your skills. If you get placed 1st through 5 then you are good!
