sports sorry growing-up
I feel kind of sorry for those kids who just play one sport growing up.
baseball games play
During the season I really don't do anything else but play baseball. I've never wanted to get away from baseball for a break. Why would I want to get away from it? I love the game. I always have. There's nothing else I'd rather do.

Bart has done a great job this year stepping up and putting an end to a loss.
care field means walking
I don't care who it is, I don't like to see that ever. Because it means we're walking off the field and we lost.
