My favourite sport is baseball. It's fun to play, and it is fun to watch.

I went to my first baseball game with my grandparents when I was 6. It was really wonderful. We had a good time. I was happy to be with my grandparents. My grandfather made me love the game.

My dad knew I loved baseball, so he gave me a baseball on my eighth birthday.

When I was 12, my friend came to me and asked me to join his team and play baseball. I agreed. From then on, I got to learn more about baseball. I practised a lot and learned how to play better.

My favourite baseball player is Derrek Lee. Derrek Lee joined the Chicago Clubs in 2004. This year was a good year for him, but 2005 was his best year. One of my favourite things about Derrek Lee is that he is a very nice person. He never shouts at others. He always has a big smile on his face. He seems happy all the time.
