Love for an Underacheiving Team :: Personal Narrative Writing

Love for an Underacheiving Team Sitting in a green wooden seat marked number 3 in the second row of section 27, I saw Sammy Sosa practice singe near the dugout. His forearms and shoulders bulged giving a muscular shape to the blue and crimson Cubs jersey. His thighs were as thick as baby cedar trees. Sammy stepped up to the dwelling calmly. As he tightened his blue batting gloves snug around his wrists, he also dug two spots for placing his feet. I heard chants from the climb crowd behind the Cubs dugout M-V-P, M-V-P. In Wrigley Ville, a small residential region of northern Chicago, hes often referred to as Slammin Sammy Sosa. The Cubs maitre dhotel lead the National League with 63 home runs surpassing in caramelt Ruths 1927 and Roger Maris 1961 records for the second time in his career. Any baseball game card will tell you that he stands six feet tall and weighs 220 pounds. However, a baseball card wont admit that Sammy hit a ball nearly length of two footb all fields. At 130 p.m. that Sunday, Waveland avenue residents knew that their homes were in danger of Sosas homeruns flying into their yards or worse their windows.* * * * Trips to Chicago were not something I could do regularly. Six courses at MIT kept me busy enough that a weekend out of townsfolk would disrupt my study schedule. An inexpensive ticket and really good savvy would allow me to travel home. During early October, flights were selling for half the normal prices since the ruin terrorist attacks of September 11th. I had no fears of flying unlike some of my paranoid colleagues so I bought a United Airlines ticket to go home. I wanted to see two things my family and the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. * * * * The cheers for Sammy renewed an heartiness that I lacked for the common chord years of college. The boisterous voice of the crazed fan sunk deep into my eardrum, Lets go Sammy, hit iodine out for me, baby. The Internet radio version of the Cubs games over the last three years never produced this type of quality.
