April 2 1931, history was made. A girl pitching for the Lookouts against the New York Yankees. While she warms up, Babe Ruth and Lou Gihrig  go over and watch her. The game starts as Babe Ruth comes up to bat. She throws a ball, but after that she throws a fastball right down the middle. Ruth swings and misses. Second pitch, he swings and misses again. Third pitch, a fastball on the outside corner. Ruth watches it go by. “Strike 3!” Babe Ruth stomps off the field angry. Jackie Mitchell, the girl pitcher, strikes out Lou Gihrig and then Tony Lazzeri. It’s a day that Jackie Mitchell and many others will never forget.

Taxes from the olden days are way different from the taxes we have. My teacher, Mrs. McFall, put together a little thing today in class. She handed out some cups with mints in them. There was a King and two tax collectors. The King would say something like, “If you have a sister pay two mints” or “If you have blonde hair pay 3 mints.” I learned that their tax payments were very different from ours. People couldn’t help if they had blonde hair or if they had a sister. The taxes from back then were very very different from the taxes we have today.

I will never forget the time I went to the World Series in Branson,Missouri. When we were in a game I felt like I was a Professional Softball Player. When we were in Missouri, my family and I went to a Titanic Museum. There was a wall of ice in there, so you could see how cold the iceberg was when the Titanic sank. There also was a room that was very cold and that was how cold it was outside. There also was a bucket of water and that was how cold the water was. We also went to this place called “Ripley’s Believe it or Not”. It shows world records and science things. We also went to a Wax Museum. It had wax statues of famous people like Tom Hanks and Marilyn Monroe. Something I look forward to in 2015 is that i will get to go to the World Series again someday.
