I was introduced to baseball by my dad, Mike. He was always trying to tell me about it and explain all the rules but I never really understood what he was trying to teach me. I am a visual learner and have to see and watch to understand what is being taught to me. My dad didn’t really understand until I told him to take me to a game so I could learn for myself. One day he came home and told me he had two Cardinals tickets for that night. I was so excited to learn about the game and be a part of something bigger than me for the first time in my life which was Cardinal Nation. On the way to the game my dad was talking my ear off trying to tell me how the game worked, who the good players are and who the bad ones are, just stuff like that. I had …show more content…

I'm from South County and that kind of stuff wasn't ever really exposed to me at all so I asked my dad what he was doing and he said asking for money he is very poor and needs some help so he handed me a 5-dollar bill and I put it in his cup.

I could tell that some fans were losing interest because the game was so slow, but I was not I was so into the game and I tried to learn as much I could and I did.
