Ted Talk presentation

So my teacher Mrs. Donnelly assigned me and my classmates to do a Ted talk about anything we’re passionate about. A Ted talk is a talk where you shouldn’t look at your script and read off the script and just read from your mind. So my Ted talk presentation was about baseball and the reason I chose baseball as my Ted talk was because I really have a passion for baseball and I want to be in the MLB ( Major League Baseball) when I grow up and become a hall of famer. My 2nd  slide was about why baseball is good for you.  I said it’s good for the vitamin d, mind, muscles, and your body. My 3rd slide was about how to get into baseball. I said that you have to have baseballs, a glove, helmet, and a bat. And I said you want to watch someone else play and learn from than and learn the basics and mechanics of baseball. My 4th slide was about how baseball is really hard in the MLB and my examples were that pitchers can throw 90 mph ( miles per hour) to 103mph, it’s hard to hit a home run, make a diving catch,  rob a home run, and if pitchers throw crazy the batters can get seriously hurt. I just put a photo of someone getting blood of their nose because they got hit by a pitcher on the face. My last slide was about how to grip a two seam fastball, change up, and a curve ball.

Sam’s Baseball Season

Hi, it’s Sam again. Hello. I will be talking about my historic season with my baseball team last year. So I got picked to the Chicago Cubs (not the real Cubs) in South Durham Little League. Our team was so bad at the beginning of the season our record was 0-9 then we beat the Orioles then I’m pretty sure we won almost every single game after that. So we were playing the 2 best teams first game of the playoffs vs the White Sox. They had the fastest and hardest pitcher. There was 5 people who got hit by the pitcher. I pitched like 3 or 4 innings I think I did good and the game went to nine innings and we play like 6 innings. I forget what the score was but I knew that we won the game.

Then we played the Tigers, the best team and I pitched like 4 innings or so. I got replaced for the a different pitcher and I was at shortstop. If we got 3 outs that inning we would have won that game and we won. After the game we got pizza.

Now it was the championship and I pitched 4 innings. I don’t remember the score but then I got replaced for a different pitcher and if we got three  outs we would have won the championship and that’s what we did.  Now we play in the Meyers cup. The Meyers  Cup is basically when the North Durham Little League champions play the South Durham Little League  for their division. So, I pitched 4 innings and then I got replaced in the 4th inning. I got replaced by a kid named Wyatt and he is so good at hitting because he got like 2 home runs. Then we won!! And basically  if you win the Meyers Cup you basically go somewhere with your team I forget where but you go around and you celebrate with people. We got two trophies, 1 for the Meyers Cup, 2 for the South Durham Little League championship.
