Today, I talk about my hobbies. I have two hobbies. One of them is playing baseball. Actually, I played soocer when I was 6 years old but in winter, I felt it was too cold because I have to wear short pants so my leg was frozen. I was quit soccer and I did not play any sports over 3 years but when I was 10 years old therefore I was 4th grade student, I played baseball with my father and I felt baseball is very fun and excited!!! so I decided I play baseball and I was belong to Nagazumi Baseball club. I took part in the game as a starting line up when I was 5th grade. My position was third baseman and batting was 5th batter. I keep playing baseball until now. I am going to play baseball at Keio University.
Another my hobby is playing sports. Maybe, everyone thinks playing baseball and playing sport are same but in my mind, playimg baseball and playing baseball are not same because playing baseball is that I have to concentrate in practice and I have to get better and I have so many games but playing sports is that I can choose sports. For example, play rugby, play soccer, play badminton, play table tennis, play tennis and so on. And also, I do not have game of them. I think that point is differnt point of between playing baseball and playing sports.
And also, I love moving my body. I always go to weight room and I work out very hard and I can feel my ball is very fast and faster than other people. If I do not work out, I can not hit long hit like 2 base hit or 3 base hit or homerun. I want to be a middle hitter. Sometimes I hit 2base hit, 3 base hit or homerun. I am leading off batter so if I can hit middle hit, it is easy to get score. Like that team is very strong. I think my team has to be like that. If my team does not be like that, we can not get state champion again so I have to be middle hitter and I have to make a chance to get score easily.
Soon, we have 4 days dayoff. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday but I think all of them, we have baseball practice so I can not rest. I want day off. Our baseball team's first game is April 1st against Tackahoe. Tackahoe was very strong last year but we won 8-3 in the sectional so they think they have to win against Keio but we do not lose. Coach said " this year, Tackahoe is not strong" so I feel little bit comfortable but I do not have to relax. We do not lose over 3 games. Two years ago, we lost only 3 games so I do not lose over 3 games. Mr. Kringle! Please come to baseball game!!! BAseball is very good sport!

junior high school baseball
Today, I talk about my junior high school baseball. In my junior high school baseball, there were some problems. I talk about one problem in the some problems.
That was that I was 14 years old so I was in the 8th grade. When I was at that time, we had very big championship. It called "Hawks cup". I thought 50 junior high school baseball team took part in the championship. That was very high level championship so our team prepared for winning the championship. We worked hard so much. We ran, hit, practiced defense and our team became very strong. We did not lose at the scrimige. We thought we are going to win the championship but we shaved our eye blow the championship last night. Next day was the championship. Actually, we can not shave eye blow because school says " do not shave eyeblow" as a school rule. But we did because we wanted high motivation. We thought if we shave eye blow, we can get high motivation.
Then, next day we were practicing like usual. Mr. Kawamoto who teach us noticed my friend eye blow and he said " Hey, you shaved your eye blow, right?" and my friends said"...yes." then Mr. Kawamoto hit him so many times. He does not like like that students. He thinks students must follow school rule. He checked every player's eye blow and he noticed my eye blow too. He hit me so many times too. He noticed only me and the friend. Me and the friend was the starting line up but Mr.Kawamoto went out from the starting line up and he said " you guys do not have to be here. Go away!!" so we went side of ground and cried. Of course our team's motivation was very low. There were not very important player. We lost the game.
From then, we followed the school rule and we practiced so much. We became stronger than that day. I did not forget that day. That day is very important for me and also very important for our baseball team. We lost the game because of me and the friend. I felt the reason of lose is me then I changed my mind. I have to concentrate baseball. I do not want other thing.
That day, I learned school rule is very important. If we follow school rule, we can win the game. But if we do not follow the school rule, we can not win the game. Mr.Kawamoto was very good coach and teacher. I met him in this year's winter vacation. He did not change. Actually, he won the championship therefore his team became No.1 in the japan's junior high school in 1999 so I respected him so much. When I met him, He remembered me. I was very glad. I taught baseball for junior high school baseball player. They were very good player. I hope they can win the game in the summer. I am going to watch their game in the summer.

My friends
Today, I talk about my friend who is in my junior high school' s friends. The friend's name is Saito Eisuke. His grade is under than me. I and he went to different elementaly school. I saw him sometimes at baseball game. He belonged to Nagaoka fighters and I belonged to Nagazumi syonen baseball club so we had a game sometimes. When I was 8th grade, He entered Nagaoka junior high school as a new student. Ofcouse, he belonged to baseball club and we knew each other well.
He is very good baseball player. When he was 8th grade, he took part in the game so he took part in the 9th grade's game. Only him got the starting member in the 8th grade student. I played at second baseman and he played at short stop so our communication was very important in the game. We were very good friends. Actually, I went his house to stay night and he also came to my house to stay night.
When his junior high school game is over, I went there to watch the game. His team win so many times but in the last, he was hit and they lost. They were crying. Then, his junior high school's baseball was over. When he was thinking about high school, some high school wanted him to come their high school as a baseball player and they got some opinion. For example, he does not pay enter money, he does not pay all of money about school and so on. He thoght about that. He imaged about all school with me. I geve advice to him and he decided school. It was Aomori Yamada high school. Our home town is Fukuoka so Aomori is too far from Fukuoka but the school went to Koshien almost recently year. This is the point that He decided.
Sometimes, his grand parents said, you do not need to go like far place. You go to Fukuoak's high school and he talks about me. "My friend, Kitajima Tatsuro went to New York. New York is far than Aomori. Then, they are quiet.
Now, he is junior so 11th grade. He is belonging the school and baseball club. He went to Koshien last year 2008 and he got to the member as a pitcher so I watched his game. I could watch him in the TV. They won 2 times but they lost against Keio high school. But his play was very cool. He worked hard as a pitcher. He has a chance to go to Koshien in this year. I hope Aomori Yamada go to Koshien and get the champion's title.
And he has suponcer of Mizuno so he can get globe, batm, bag any items of Mizuno. Cost is free. This is very good. He gave me a globe in winter vacation. He is very kind person. My plan is that I go to Koshien in this year and I see him at Koshien but Koshien is in August so it will be very hot so I pay attention about temperature.
He is very good baseball player. When he was 8th grade, he took part in the game so he took part in the 9th grade's game. Only him got the starting member in the 8th grade student.

recently baseball practice
Our baseball season is coming soon and we have to prepare our new baseball season. Recently, baseketballs uses gym and it is very cold so we have to practice in the school. In the school, we cannot use baseball because it is very dangerous if the baseball hit the students so we separate pitcher and fielder. Pitchers run every day in the school or outside. Last Friday, I let them run from Keio Academy to Suny Purchase. There is park for running. I have not gone there so I do not know where it is and how shape the running course but one of the them who is Imaeda belonged to cross country club so he knows. He leaded pitchers as a captain. I heard the park's distance is 3 miles!! They had to run 2 raps so they ran 6 miles and from Keio Academy to there's distance is about 2 miles so they ran total about 10 miles!! I think this is very important and very good practice for pitcher because pitchers have to have stamina and very strong mental and strong below the waist. I want to keep let them do but catchers also do this practice. Last Friday, one of the catchers who vomit in the park. He was very tired. When I heard, I thought I let them do too much but we have to win in the state championship so I keep doing.
Next, I talk about fielder's practice. Fielder's practice mainly works out, sprint and swing the bat. We do not run long distance. We run middle distance. It is about 300 meter or 400 meter. Actually, this is very harder than long distance. Work out is very important for the fielders because if we do not have muscle, the ball which is we hit does not fly so we have to have big muscle and also swing the bat is very important for us because if our swing speed is slow, we cannot respond very fast ball so we have to swing the bat so many times. Day before yesterday, I checked fielders how much they can lift up bench press. I was surprised because almost players could lift up bench press when I checked them 1 month ago. I was glad that they worked hard.
If basketball season is over in next week, Kaoru and Chubachi are going to return back baseball. They are very important player for us. Kaoru is No 2 pitcher our rotation and Chubachi is catcher. They are good at play baseball so I expect them. Actually, Chubachi is very good player but Kaoru cannot hit well so if he returns back, I have to teach him how to hit. His bat swing is upper swing so he has to swing revel swing. He hit the baseball like pararell as a ground. If Kaoru cannot hit well, it is difficult to win league and state championship so I hope Kaoru works very hard. Of course, every player has to work hard too!!!
