Baseball

This blog is about baseball. I am going to write about the major leagues and who has played what team in the past two years. I am going to write about the season baseball starts and when it ends. Another thing i am going to write about it the history it started and who started it. Also the movies that have been made on a true story about baseball. Baseball is a interesting sport because there are in-zones and out-zones and honestly i know a lot about baseball because my grandpa is crazy for baseball because everyone of his sons and brothers played baseball because they thought it was just about the game and not about who wins and how loses.

The first team to play baseball was the Cincinnati Red Socks. The Red Socks are from Boston and their first game was on May 14, 1869 and the score was 45-6 and i don't know what the team was because it was never found so it is unknown. They won 24 straight games until they lost 8-7 against the Brooklyn Atlantics on June 14th. However they ended up losing 6 games out of their season so they really didn't lose that bad as they thought they did. The first African American teams where the Moses FleetWood Walker and the Bud Flowers both of the teams had white players but the teams still counted as a African American baseball team.

There are so many movies about baseball but I know one that is a true story about his life and he was the first African American man to become a dodger. That movies name is 42 the reason why it is called 42 it because it was the the number on the back of his uniform. The main point of this movie is about what he went through and how he never gave upon a dream. His name was Jackie Robertson and he was playing baseball when he was little but he was never really on a team because it was against the law. This movie was based on something that happened before Martin Luther King made his speech about the life between white and black. So in the movie Jackie was treated with respect by his team mates but not other teams they would try to hit him in the face with the ball just because of the different color skin. However his life got better because he started to get famous for what he did because he didn't care about the people in the game he just wanted to play the game. He changed so may lives because a little boy was watching him and wanted to be just like him and i thought it was a good movie because everyone hated and started to like him because all he wanted to just play baseball.

The final thing about baseball is that it doesn't matter about if you win or lose all that matters is that you are having a good time. If people honestly think that baseball is just for the fame but it really isn't the only part that matters is that you are having a good time playing the game and not anything else because it isn't important. I like baseball and the way it is played because of the fact that I have to watch every game that is played for the Colorado Rockies. I have to watch every game at my grandparents house because the proves how much they love baseball and the game. My point is that it isn't about which team wins or loses as long as they are having fun then that's all that matters.
