I am usually a pretty laid back guy; not having to many worries about life or what it consists of. But there has always been one thing that brings out a different person in me. And that is baseball. I have played baseball since I was about four years old. Not only is it just a game I play, it is a part of my life. Ever since I picked up a bat thinking that I was David Ortiz of the Boston Redsoxs hitting a game winning home run I fell in love. But as I have grown older I have realized there are more than game winning home runs. There are all the pitches in between that count as well. This has kind of became a metaphor for how I think about my life.
Whenever my feet hit the diamond I feel like a changed person. And this feeling doesn't even compare to when I step onto the mound. There is a certain bliss I reach; almost a home away from home. It's me against them, there is nothing my coach, teammates or my father can do for me. I become so relaxed it makes me crave the next time I will be back. This is what makes me come alive.
