Second set of questions:
(Q) 1. You have said that your older brother has made baseball your favorite hobby, why is that?
(A) Well growing up, I think if a young boy has an older brother he kind of looks up to him and gets involved's going prett, I focused a little more on baseball because I thought it was the sport I had the best chance excelling in.
(Q) 2. You said that it didn't become your favorite sport until high school, what experience in high school made it your favorite hobby?
(A) Well, I also played football and basketball growing up but baseball ended up being what I was best at. therefore, I think I focused more at baseball because I saw more of a future in that for me.
(Q) 3. You said that you are on the team at AR, how is that team doing?
(A) It's actually going pretty well. Last year was my first year and we made it to the state tournament for the first time in about six years. Most of our starters are returning this year too so everybody wants to do even better than last year.
(Q) 4. Do you do anything special as a team (the AR team), any rituals before games/after games/movie nights/hang out?
(A) As a team, we don't really have any rituals. The ly thing I can think of is getting together after games and celebrating big wins.
(Q) 5. Do you do anything special as a team (the summer amateur team), any rituals before games/after games/movie nights/hang out?
(A) The same thing goes for the amateur team.
(Q) 6. Which team do you like to play on better?
(A) I like playing on both teams pretty equally. I have more friends on the summer team and my older brother plays on it as well, but on the spring college team, I get a lot more innings pitching and play a bigger role on that team which I enjoy. (I'm a pitcher by the way)
(Q) 7. Anything else interesting about baseball I should know?
(A) Not much else really, I hope to continue playing as long as my body and skill level allow me too. Hopefully, if this spring goes well I'll be able to transfer to a four year school and play my junior and senior seasons there.

I would focus on how he got to play in the championship field. It sounds like it was a big accomplishment and meant a lot to him so I think it would be important to talk about in the story.
ReplyDeleteYou should focus more about the AARC team. All of us can relate because we go to AARC and it lets us know know our baseball team is doing and how good they were last year
ReplyDeleteThe follow up questions really smooth out any remaining questions that someone would have overall. I like that you asked if there was anything else they wanted to add, I just got done reading about doing that in the chapter!
ReplyDeleteyou had a lot of good questions in there. I think it was nice how you did the follow up second set of questions as well.
