Satchel Paige

Satchel Paige was a black baseball player in 1929. He started off as a Negro league pitcher. The negro league is where only blacks would play in, not whites. But, if the black player is really good he would play in the white leagues. He came from a poor family. He was very popular. Some times he would get shout at but he did not care.

Keeping Score by Linda Sue Park

Keeping Score is about a girl named Maggie having a passion for baseball, and meeting a man named Jim who teaches her every thing he knows about baseball. But sadly he is drafted away to the Korean war and her communication with him stopped. What could have happened to him? Did he die or is he just ignoring her mail?
This book has a lot of ups and downs, because first Maggie cries because the Dodger lose, but she is happy when she sees Jim. She never seems to get mad when her dad never lets her go to the ballgame. The part that I am in is when Maggie's favorite team, which is the Dodgers lose the championship, and Maggie goes to the fire department to walk the fire house dog. Then suddenly she got the news that Jim was drafted away to the Korean war.

The Anaheim Ducks

The Anaheim Ducks are a professional hockey team in California. The Ducks were named because of a Walt Disney movie called the "Mighty Ducks." In 1993 the team was one of the top selling teams in the NHL. The team is in California. My favorite player is Scott Miedermayer. I like this team because there are a lot of good players. I like ice hockey because you can smash other players.

mad boy fisher

This is a Bluegill that lives in Longfellow Pond. I mostly catch this fish in the pond.



I have been fishing at Longfellow Pond for a while and I have caught a Bass, catfish, and a ton of blue gills, also known as sun fish.
I own two fishing poles and a tackle box filled with fake bait, rubber bands, flies,hooks, weight, Bobber's, two small knifes, a net, a scisors, extra line, nail clipers and last but not least a first aid kit.
I had found out that you can fish without a licence if you are fifteen or younger. So people who are 15 right now and their birthday is coming up, fish all you can before you do illegal fishing.

Manny Ramirez gone mad

Manny Ramirez is a professional baseball player. But lately he has gone wild. He had pushed a 64 year old guy, and punched him. later he did apologize to the man. Also he had slapped Kevin Youkilis twice in the dugout and the team members had to stop him. Why is he like this and why would he act like this? He is one of the most highly paid baseball players in the team.
