Baseball is more than just a game. Baseball is a symbol of patience, teamwork, cohesiveness, and a symbol of resilience. For over a century, baseball has been loved and cherished by the hearts of millions of people. From the thrill of a home run to the crack of the bat, baseball displays a story of perseverance. A baseball player stands at home plate knowing that the odds of him hitting the ball are stacked against him. Even if a player has a .300 batting average which is considered good, that still means they only hit the ball 30% of the time. Despite that, the players come back repeatedly, knowing that one of their next attempts will result in a hit. This ability to face failure yet keep going is perhaps baseballs most powerful lesson since like baseball, nothing in life is guaranteed. But as baseball teaches us, is don't matter if we fail, what matters is that we keep trying and getting up after we fail. Whether it's striking out, dropping a ...
The Chicago Cubs have been my favorite major league baseball team for a long time now. I've seen them have plenty of difficulties over the years, but I'm starting to get tired of them consistently being an average team within the MLB. The Cubs had a lot of potential going into the start of this year's season, but somehow managed to squander it when it mattered the most for them. The teams lack of consistency is apparent to almost every Cubs fan. One game they could perform very poorly and lose by a lot of runs, and the next game against the same team they can absolutely crush the team. Thats due their bullpen, defense and. hitting. Usually if you want to win a baseball game, you want to be able to hit the baseball. Apparently, that's a very hard thing to do for some of the Cubs players. Despite being skillful enough to be a part of the MLB, they just cannot make contact. If players make contact, it's against a mediocre team that a high school te...
On September 27th, 2024, the Chicago White Sox set an MLB record for having the most losses in a single season. The previous record was 120 losses, set in 1962 by the Mets. The Mets held onto their record until now. The Chicago White Sox now hold the record for most losses in a single MLB season, coming in at 121 losses. To put that into perspective, the Sox played a total of 162 games in this season. They only won 41 of those 162 games. The White Sox's home stadium, The Guaranteed Rate Field, saw a massive decline in attendance during the middle of the season. Especially when the White Sox lost 12 consecutive games. Funny enough though, the attendance at the stadium saw an increase as the Sox approached the record for most losses. Fans could be seen at home games with banners that said things like "121," and "set the record." A handful of fans attending some of the Sox's last few games even wore paper bags over their heads as a symbol of be...
