playoffs

Last night, was the game of Yankees vs Tampa Bay and Boston vs Oriols, both were very important games, because boston and tampa were tied in second place and just first and second place can pass to the playoffs, so both were forced to win.

Both games were at the same hour, and boston vs oriols was very hard, they very few careers of both teams, at the 9th inning they were 3-2 in favor of boston, and oriols were closing the inning, and they started with a hit, and then the player went to second base, after that there was a hit and put the game and that make a player in third and second, after that, a fly was made, and the boston player didnt catch the ball, so both players score, and boston lost the game, so they depend of a victory of Yankees, that was winning 7-0 to tampa, but in the last two innings, tampa score 7 careers, and that make the game went to extra innings, so in the 12 inning Evan Longoria, that has been the player of the game with Mark Teixeira, with grand slams, and with many careers in their favor, and in that inning Evan Longoria made a solo Home-run and left Boston out of the playoffs, and Tampa passed with Yankees.

One of the teams that is in a very good way, and a candidate to the World Series, is Phillies that since 2004 they havent won more than 100 games in a league, and now they did it.

This playoffs are very interesting and hard for everyone, so watch the games, and enjoy them

baseball in my family.

for me, baseball is very important, because since little, my brothers, my father and even my mother practiced this sport, i was the only one that chose soccer, instead of baseball but i also practice baseball and i like to watch it.

My big brother went to Williamsport in 1998 and they lost in the semifinals, buy it was a great goal that was very important to Mexico. My other brother also went to Williamsport in 2001 but they didnt win any game, but it still was a good participation, my dad was the manager of the team of my fbig brother, and he took them to Williamsport. My mom practiced softball and she was a very good baserunning player.

Now my dad, my brothers and me, have a softball team and every week we play. That`s why I like baseball cards collecting, because is a hobby that means a lot to me, and to everyone in my family, we do not collect them, but in the past we did, now we just enjoy baseball and soccer a lot, and practice those sports with passion and a lot of feeling.

I dont know why some people say that baseball is boring, because if you watch a game it is very interesting and with a lot of good plays, and even more interesting if you practice it because it feels very good when yoy are batting and make some outs.

Baseball cards, tradition

In the United States, baseball cards collecting is a long and popular tradition for people of every age. Baseball cards are made of a type of paper stock, it contains a baseball player or sometimes a team logo, whent there´s a player, it comes batting,  pitching, running, catching, or maybe just smiling to the camera. There are different types of cards, some are just the player playing normally, and sometimes it comes a funny card, with a player with a big head or some things like that.

These cards are most common in places like Canada, Cuba, Puerto Rico,US, Republica dominicana etc. because in those countries they practice a lot of baseball, in Mexico its not so common, but people who like baseball can buy those cards in the US.

When I was during 7 to 12 years, I liked to see my brother´s baseball cards collection, and there were some card, in which I laugh a lot, because of the heads or of the body that was funny because of the changed body.

"There also exist cards that are very expensive because of the time they were created, there are some of the 1800´s and if they are in good condition they can cost, tens of thousands dollars, depending of the people who want to buy it"    http://www.sportscardfun.com/baseball-cards.asp.

There are also some cards that are expensive because they are gold cards and they are made since 1980´s. These cards have just the face of the player smiling to the camera, is not playing or running or batting.

At the back of all cards, there comes a specific detail about the player, sometimes its hits, or a record that he have, or the teams he have been playing.

I love this hobby and if I live at the US I would have a big collection about this cards, and more about the New York Yankees.
