My favorite activity is playing baseball, hitting the ball is exhilarating. I love the sound of the bat cracking against the ball and the feeling of running the bases, it makes me feel alive and competitive. When I step up to the plate, I feel a rush of excitement and focus on hitting the ball with precision, but sometimes I strike out and that is just part of the game.
