baseball

Today, I will explain about baseball. I have never played baseball in the club or someting as team, ut I like to watch a game of baseball in the house. First, I explain about the rules of baseball.

Baseball is a bat-and-ball sport played between two teams of nine players each. The goal of baseball is to score runs by hitting a thrown ball with a bat and touching a series of four markers called bases at the corners of a diamond. Players on one team take turns hitting against the pitcher on the other team which tries to stop them from scoring runs by getting hitters out in any of several ways. A player on the batting team can stop at any of the bases and hope to score on a teammate's hit. The teams switch between batting and fielding whenever the fielding team gets three outs. One turn at bat for each team constitutes an inning. Nine innings make up a professional game. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. A game is played between two teams, each composed of nine players, that take turns playing offense and defense. A pair of turns, one at bat and one in the field, by each team constitutes an inning there are nine innings in a game. One team that visiting team is attacking in the first half of every inning. Both team try to get a point from the other team every inning. Baseball hasn many many skills, but I explain them because it is too much.

There is a major world game. It is WBC called world baseball classic. The World Baseball Classic is an international baseball tournament, first held in March 2006. It is sanctioned by the International Baseball Federation and created by the Major League Baseball Players Association, and other professional baseball leagues and their players associations around the world. The second WBC is in 2009 with subsequent tournaments held every three years thereafter. The first champion was Japan. I watched a game and it was so excited. The Jpana team had many good player a few player was major league player. For example, Ichiro. He is so famous in the world. He plays now in Seattle marinars in Seattle.　I think that he is the most important and best player in Japan. He has a good shoulder and can good batting. I hope that he will connect Japna to the 1st place in the world on WBC. WBC will start on March 5th. Japan will battle with Korea, China and Chiese thaipay. This group is so strong so Japan can not thrue this group easily, but I want Japan to go main stage of WBC.
The baseball is so famous and interesting sports in the world. Keio baseball team’s season is spring so Mr. Kringle you can watch the game soon. If you will not have work, you should to watch it. It is so good. Keio team won state final last year so this year’s team is strong, too. Baseball is good!

Rugby

I play Rugby in this school. I started to play last year. I will introduce about rugby in this blog.

First, I explain about the rule of rugby. We play rugby with 15 people as same team. There are two kinds of position. one is a Foward. The other is Backs. The foward is 8 people and backs is 7 people. The foward is made of 2 prop. hukker, 2 rocks, 2 FLs. and No.8. The backs is made of SH, stand, 2 center, 2 wing, and fullback. Both work different thing, but both are so important. Foward is always hit and tackle so they are big and heavy. Backs is controll the ball and get point a lot so they are faster than fowad and smaller than foward. The player must not throw the ball forward. This is the basically rule of rugby. The player do to put a ball in the try zone. Defense tackle a opponent player who have a ball. The rugby ball is not cercle. The ball is ellipse so we dont know weher is the ball going and throwing it is so deffcult. We can't throw a ball forward.
We practice 6 days every week. I am backs so I like skill of handling. I am not big so I can beat the people who is bigger than me. Therefore I must got bigger. We play with yellow and black suit when we have a game. The uniform is traditionally of Keio university so we have to feel about it is so big and important. I wore it last year. Then I was so happy. And we sing aoriginal keio song before start a game. Also it is so important for us. The captain sing that. In the university the player cry when they listen that. I started play rugby from this school so I can not play very well and can not understand importance very good.
We will start season soon.We have many opponents. One of the them is Xzevia. It is so strong. We could not beat it last year so this year I want to beat it. We are belong to league in New York state. This year, wif we will win 1 game, we can go to norht eastern. North eastern is like sectional champion ship. If then we will win 2 times, we will go to nationals. nationals is like all United states. Rugby is spring sports so in summer and autumn and winter we practice so we have strong heart. Last year, we lost north eastern first laund. Then we was decided that we can not go to nationals, but we won the last game so we finished feeling good and happy. This year I want to win a lot and want to finish happyly. This year, I am 12 grade so last sports year and last high school year so I want to get good memory. Mr. Kringle, please see our game. We have home game 3 or 4 times. Please come to Keio field.
