Entry #6. Sports.

There are many sports that happen in today's day and age but there are really only three major professional sports. These three major sports are football, basketball, and baseball, they are the most popular because there are so many fans around the world who watch them on a regular basis. First, there is baseball which is a sport which consists of a batter, a pitcher, a catcher, a 1st baseman, 2nd baseman, 3rd baseman, a shortstop, and three outfielders. There are three outs and four balls results in a walk. If the batter hits the ball into the stands between the two posts it results in a home run. The excitement is crazy and the fans love it.

 

Then there is basketball which is my personal favorite. This sport consists of nonstop action. The athletes are running back and forth across the court constantly. 10 players are on the court at the same time, 5 players from each team. The goal is to get the basketball inside the hoop. You do that by shooting a three pointer, a two pointer or by shooting free throws. The sport is pretty simple and to me it is the most exciting sport out there and the fans love it.


Finally, there is football which most people consider is the most popular sport ever. It's been going on since the 1960's. How it works is there are 22 players on the field at once, 11 players from each team. The purpose of the game is to score the football into the other teams end zone. One touchdown is six points and a PAT is one point. Along with that, a field goal is three points. In addition, there are many positions in football such as quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, linebacker, corner back, safety, and defensive lineman. This sport is very popular and will continue to be for a really long time.
