In April 1 I did a baseball tryout for the major leagues. It all started in Saturday March 29, 2008 when a scout of the MLB came to the Sabana park and saw my team play. He stayed the whole practice watching us however I didn’t see him and I never knew he was a scout. At the end of the practice he got near and he said hi to our coach and he started talking with him. Later the coach said that we could leave except for three players me and other two kids in the team. He started telling us about are talent and that we could reach the best league in the world the MLB. At the end he told us we had to go to the national park of baseball of  Costa Rica at Tuesday April 1 at 7 pm. At Tuesday my dad took me and we arrived there. I was very nervous because many new things could have happen to me in this baseball test or tryout. When I went inside he started talking with the parents of the four players. The four players where two of my team and another kid from a different team and me. The first thing we did was to warm up because it was very cold. The first test was arm strength which is to throw the ball as far as we could. I beat all of them by 5 centimeters. The second test was long distances running it was very exhausting, however I won the test by milliseconds. The last test was swing velocity and power swing. I also made the highest percentage, which my swing was at 72 miles beating one of my team by two miles. At the end he told us that all of us are really good and that we had to keep on practicing more to be better players. When my dad and I left the stadium I felt really satisfied that I did a better than the other kids which means I have more possibilities to reach the leagues.
