Baseball Then to Now

Working for the Big leagues

Baseball, this sport is considered America’s pastime.Baseball needs to become more popular. There are different levels if you are like 5 you play the level of coach pitch, if you are like 9 you start playing kid pitch and so on. Once you are older you can play in high school then move on to go play in college. 

Hard but BANK

Baseball has one of the hardest tasks in sports in it, one of the hardest things to do in sports is hit a fastball with a 2 or 3-inch wide bat and that you have 2 milliseconds to decide if its a ball or a strike and if you’re going to swing or not, then if you do it hit it you have to run to first base and decide if its a good hit and if you get extra bases. Baseball has a major league association called the MLB. It is the second most high paying sport behind the NFL and the biggest salary in the MLB is 33.25 million. Other players get paid a lot but not as much as mike trout, there are 30 teams in the MLB and each has more than 20 men and there are 9 different positions in the game which are pitcher, 1st, 2nd, shortstop, 3rd, left, right, and center field.

A Baseball Players Life

Baseball players have their own lifestyle which is pretty complicated. You might think it must be easy to live in the major leagues, this is for every sport, it’s actually really hard to play in these stages of these sports. Think of how much you have to travel every time you have an away game think about how much you have to pay for the events. These things can obviously be fun to like invite your family to these events, then again your family would have to pay and you’re away from them more than you should be and don’t get to see them very often which can be hard if you are that kind of person.

In the Post-season

The Cardinals lost to the nationals and we knew it would happen when the first game went down but with the additions, we could come out this season. The Cardinals are going to be dominant. The next team that I think will be dominant this year even knows they technically cheated. They seem to be very good in the 2020 season and they are good at both offense and defense. They lost their best pitcher in the off-season and they should not be bad to their players including Jose Altuve, Alex Bregman, etc. Therefore they are going to be pretty good and hold up well. Then again the cardinals additions are going to help the team go further and make it to the wildcard or even the world series.

 

In conclusion, Baseball has history and there are a lot of good players and arguments that could be driven by the sport and for how much it gets paid it is one of the highest-paid and one of the most fun sports that you are able to play as a job.
