Author’s Note: In this short cause/effect response, I will talk about one
stupid mistake I made in a baseball game and what happened because of the
mistake. While reading the response
please look for the interesting content.
In the following paragraphs, I will talk to you about one of
the big cause and effects that happened in my life. The one I will be talking about is when I was up to bat when we were
losing by two runs and we had base
runners on second and third. The count
was three and two, I should have been looking for the right pitch, but I was
just too eager.
When the pitch from the two and two came in they called it a
ball. After the pitch I got out of the
batter’s box and took a couple of practice swings. I went back in the batter’s
box with my head high, maybe too high.
The pitch was a low and in that got me swinging as if I was a logger cutting down a tree with an axe, I struck out and left two
base runners on base for the end of the inning.
Although striking out is miserable; it was not as bad as it
would be when my teammates and coaches would tell me when I got in the dugout. They were like bees, they were stinging me every they said something inappropriate .The
main part of the story is that I let my team down, because they needed me and I
didn’t produce. Our team resulted in losing the final game four to one, because
of a few errors and bad mental mistakes by other teammates. "Baseball is 90% mental, the other half is physical." said Yogi Berra.
Within the paper, I am telling you that because of mental mistakes and my struck out our team resulted in losing. That is because
they were depending on me to bring in a few runs, but I just couldn’t do it.
The main point in the story is that no one is perfect at everything, and you
will always make mistakes playing the game and watching the game. "You can observe a lot just by watching." said Yogi Berra.
