I just started reading the book called "The Batboy" which is a realistic fiction sports book by the famous sports writer Mike Lupica. In the story, the main character Brian is on a little league baseball team which is coming to an end since his team has no chance of making the playoffs in this season. Brian also has become upset at the fact that his father, Cole Dudley, who also pitches for a major league baseball team, left him and his mother without filing for divorce. But Brian still is focused on baseball. I can connect to this story in a few ways. To start, I have been playing baseball since the year of 2005, when I was five years old.
I also had a family member who played professional baseball, and my parents always say that is the reason I am a good baseball player. Another way I can connect to this story is because I played little league for 7 years straight until I got to old to play. My final team of little league that I had played on was the team that almost made it to the little league world series, which airs on live television, but lost the final game before making it there. And one final connection I have from this story is the love of the game I have for this sport. Just like Brian, I could play and watch baseball all day and everyday. It does not matter who I play the game with or how I play the game, I just love playing. It could be in the streets with friends or on a real organized team. Either way, I take the game serious with harsh competition in me just because I enjoy winning and playing the sport of baseball. Those are the ways I connect to this book.
