I ve Never Been Good At Baseball - 1216 Words

I’ve never been good at baseball. Believe me, I’ve tried. My older brother, Drew, plays baseball all the time, so I’ve thrown the ball with him, but I could never catch it. I would try, but it would always hit my glove and bounce off. Honestly, I could hardly even throw the ball. Despite my lack of skill, I loved to watch baseball. I think it’s so exciting. I love watching the players catch the high flying balls, and how hard they swing at the ball when they hit. When I watch games, I get a rush of excitement like I am playing in the game.
