How do you think it was like to play baseball with fishing nets, carboard gloves and stick bats? How do you think it was like to cut your lawn with a machete? Finnally, would you ever play baseball on a beach with shells everywhere?
I was suprised when I found out that Mariano Rivera grew up not knowing any of the best baseball players,and that he doest know that much about baseball and yet he wants to play baseball.
It was Interesting that he was found out about because he pitched in one game and now the yanks want to see him pitch and it most of been hard to practice little stuff to practice but he manged and got the job done.
I think it is crazy how Mariano Rivera grew up with very little things and made a living out of it. Also how he grew up on a fishing boat and became one of the best Players in the MLB
Yeh, it had to be a stuggle because most pitchers rely on their curveball to get a strikeout. And especially to win a world series, that just explains how dominant his other pitchers were.
I would like to discuss how would you feel if you came from playing baseball with fishing net, carboard gloves and sticks bats, to going to the majors and going to the world series. Would you be over whelmed
I would be very overwhelmed because how many people even make it to that stage? The World series is a big accomplishent to get to so it would be amazing if I did.
I want to discuss how would a kid like him handle all of the changes, from starting on a fishing boat, to trying to make it to the MLB, his life is truly inspiring. I find it hard to believe how a small town kid found a way to be successful, and even wining a World Series. Also would you think it would be hard to learn the game as fast as he did without knowing english?
How would you feel from starting from just not even knowing the sport to becoming one of the best pitchers in the league and just to win one world series. What would your emotions be like compared to him.
I would be the happiest person in the world, becauase of the journey he took was remarkable. From starting on a fishing boat to winning a world series, I would be really happy.
I think that striking out one person in the MLB would be a great feeling. But he wins a World Series, like gets the last out to winthe series that would just be amazing LOL
Mariano Rivera has had a great career. He went from catching fish on a boat making less than 2-3 dollars a week to striking out MLB pros in the 8th and 9th innings. He is one of the best pitchers to ever throw a baseball. Just incredible.
How would every like to cut your grass with a machete instead of a lawnmower? Mariano Rivera had to cut his grass with a mechette.
ReplyDeleteIt would not be that fun to have to do that in my 5 anchor yard. It must be pain full for him.
Deletethat would be hard oooooo my back
DeleteI don't get how his uncle got killed by a rope that is a big turn of events. Fishing is a really dangerous jobs.
ReplyDeleteHow do you think it was like to play baseball with fishing nets, carboard gloves and stick bats? How do you think it was like to cut your lawn with a machete? Finnally, would you ever play baseball on a beach with shells everywhere?
ReplyDeleteI would not play It would be to hard hot and not as fun.

ReplyDeleteHe was in the world series and did not get rattled or blow a save that is cool for a young pitcher with no curve.
ReplyDeleteYeh, it had to be a stuggle because most pitchers rely on their curveball to get a strikeout. And especially to win a world series, that just explains how dominant his other pitchers were.
DeleteI know that i could never do that unless I make it in to the MLB.
DeleteYa it is, especially someone who came from another country and grew up with nothing.
Deletethis is a good inspiration to see a guy come from having nothing to making it to the mlb
DeleteI would like to discuss how would you feel if you came from playing baseball with fishing net, carboard gloves and sticks bats, to going to the majors and going to the world series. Would you be over whelmed
ReplyDeleteI would probably be overwhelmed, I would probably be nervous too, to start in a world series.
DeleteI would be very overwhelmed because how many people even make it to that stage? The World series is a big accomplishent to get to so it would be amazing if I did.
DeleteI would been scared with millions watching me.
DeleteI wonder how it must feel to be so successful after just being in the MLB so little years, and to win 4-5 world series it must feel amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing because not many people make it to the Mlb and then on top of it he goes and wins a world series. It would be amzing you know.
DeleteThat would be amazing, especially from coming from a fishing town, and how he played with carboard, a stick, and a string ball.
DeleteIt must be a great feeling because of how he had to play before getting a glove and a bat.
DeleteI wonder how bad it must have hurt for his elbow to be blown and the pain of a torn UCL. I would be very depressed.
ReplyDeleteThat could have ended his career. But he didn't give up.
DeleteI would too, to be doing so good and to win 4-5 world series it is a big what if, it could end his career.
DeleteI find that incredible, to come back and go on rehab and then going on to win the World Series.
Deletethis is crazy i know how it feels i cant believe he did that and came back to win the world series
DeleteI think he lucky that he even got to go back and play still.
DeleteHe was lucky to come back from the injury, and it's a good thing he got a good doctor, his career could have ended right there.

Deletei would be in shock i wont know what to say know that you came from a very poor town and now he makes a lot of money i would be overwhelmed
DeleteI would be so happy, I would be glad that I even got to step foot in Yankee stadium. And to be as good as he is it would be aamazing
DeleteI wonder how it feels to be so successful after just being in the MLB and striking everyone out,aslo winning most of the world series.
ReplyDeleteI looked at the pictures again and I see where the picture of him on his knees in the middle of the diamond would go.
DeleteIt probually feels really good.
Deleteya that would feel really good to be that successful.
DeleteI think it would be a lifetime achievement just to get into the MLB. But to even be a starter is better.
DeleteI'm sure it is a great feeling
DeleteI think that striking out one person in the MLB would be a great feeling. But he wins a World Series, like gets the last out to winthe series that would just be amazing LOL
DeleteI like how in the book he shares the good and the bad stuff such as when he threw the ball over second to lose the game.
ReplyDeleteAnd he aslo share how he got suspended in the beginning of the book.
DeleteI wonder how the new manager happened to fit in when he joined the Yankees? What are your thoughts on this.
ReplyDeleteI think he watched the Yankees and got background information on the team and the Players.
DeleteI think that they had big expectations for him.
DeleteI think that it was hard for the new manager to fit in with the new yankkes crew.
DeleteI think its trust worthy because he talk about how he broke the bat and he also talks about how he wins games.
ReplyDeleteMe to because at the very beginning he could of said that he was an A+ student.
DeleteMe too because he talked about losing and winning.
DeleteThat must be really sad to leave a stadium that you grew up in and did so much in.
ReplyDeleteYeah, because he grew up on it and did so much in the stadium. Wouldnt it make you sad if you were Mariano?
DeleteIt would be super sad and I just would never want to leave. But he had a great career and is one of the pitchers to ever throw a baseball.
