My name is Tom. I am 11 years old and I am in fourth grade. My favorite sport is baseball because I like to play with my friends.
I am an outfielder and batter and sometimes a pitcher. Do you know that I sometimes throw fork balls? If I hit a ball, I am excited. That's the best way to forget the hot weather in the summer.
Our team usually wins. Our players work well with each other: we are really ready to cooperate with each other. So I love our players and I love to be with them.
The most exciting moment in baseball is of course to win. We hug each other and shout a lot. I am very proud of being a member of our team. Of course, I hope our team always wins. One thing I haven't done yet, but want to do, is visit the baseball stadium in Seoul with my friends to watch a Seoul Bears' game. Our team has the same name as the Seoul Bears. To make it a little different, I think, our team should be called "Little Seoul Bears." Go little Seoul Bears!
