Just Add a Speck of Magic

Evan Macks Age 17

Sports Chapter 1: Baseball Bob is a teenager who is infatuated with the Tigers. Bob delights in talking about baseball because he enjoys watching his favorite team called the Detroit Tigers. His parents buy him season passes to the games. Bob’s family will sometimes take relatives or friends that they know to the Tigers games. He attends all the games, even if his friends and family are unable to go. He delights in getting a Little Caesars pizza and a pop at the Tigers game. He is in the Kid’s Club, and he can go to the field because he is their biggest fan, and the team likes him for it. He gets so many good prizes like candy, gift cards and more. His parents are so happy that he can go on the field every game at home and away. The Tigers give them free plane tickets and free hotel stays because the Tigers pay for them to travel to their playing site. Bob just flew into Chicago for the Tigers vs. Chicago White Sox. He wanted to stop by the museum a couple hours before they played the White Sox. This was the first out of the four-game series. He went to the art museum because he really likes to see the variety of paintings created by different artists. After visiting the museum, he was on his way to the first game of the series. Once he arrived at the game, he was so excited to order a Chicago hot dog. They are his favorite. The game was a blowout and the Tigers won! After the game, he went to the hotel called the Holiday Inn, where he would sleep for three nights in Chicago. He planned on attending the museum each day because he wanted to see the art again. In the second game of the series, Bob sang the United States National Anthem. The Tigers were clapping after Bob’s performance of the anthem because they really liked his tone and dynamics, and he had perfect pitch. After Bob’s fantastic performance, the coach and the players invited Bob to the dugout to watch the game. The game was very intense because they were tied after the ninth inning. They went into extra innings and the Tigers pounded with sixteen runs in the first half of the tenth inning. They struck out three batters in the bottom half of the inning, therefore winning the game. Bob jumped for joy because they won the game while he watched from the Tigers dugout.
