    The Screw Ball        Do you play any sports? Yes, I am talking to you! If you do play or watch sports, you probably have heard of baseball. Baseball, our national past time has been known for its player doing spectacular accomplishments like Babe Ruth hitting home runs, but did you know he was a pitcher?        Speaking of pitchers, every pitcher must have effective pitches like a fastball, sinker, slider, curveball, etc. You may have heard of these pitches that move sideways, up, down, or just straight, however, there is one pitch that defies physics, and it is called the screwball.

Moreover, the genius behind this mystery pitch was a pitcher in the early 1900s that goes by the name Christy Mathewson.

Moreover, the Mayhem commercials target all individuals who are old enough to have insurance, however, they may be amusing to watch, the ad develops a fear t...

Blog Entry #3 Mint

On the contrary, this time I came prepared, I had just polished off two green chile burritos that left a mark on my breath and I was in a rush to go to my grandfather's house, so I popped one of my emergency wedges in my mouth.  This taste of the wedge was so astonishing it deserves its own paragraph broken up into two! Just like anyone would, I quickly gobbled the lemon wedge in my mouth, but this was like no other wedge. I was instantaneously blown away! Immediately, the dark chocolate was the first layer of the wedge and it liquified into my mouth; leaving the taste of sweet chocolatey delight. Who cannot resist chocolate? It is most people's favorite flavor and indeed the chocolaty flavor was an introduction of what was to come with my next bite.  I thought the first layer of this pleasant wedge was sufficient...
