7 Deadly Sins Reflection

When i first started writing this piece i was thinking it would be alot easier to write about if i related it to something i love which is baseball. I enjoyed relating the seven deadly sins to the game i love. It mad it very easy to give examples of some of the sins. Alot of the sins over lapped though which was one of my issues. I felt like i could have given examples including the fans and stadium itself. I talked about what happened on the field but not off which i could edit. The greatest strengths of my paper are the on field examples and the weakness of my paper is my examples sometimes over lapped and for some there wasnt as much shown during baseball as much as others.

All seven deadly sins committed on a baseball field. Lust, gluttony, sloth, greed, envy, wrath and pride all take place on a baseball field. During practice, during games and especially in the playoffs or championships. There are many different kinds of players on the field; there are selfish players and team players that show different sins.

            Many players show lust in the same situation. If a player hits a game winning homerun all the other players would show lust for that hit. If a player has a good hit or makes a good play and gets attention for it most players would be envious of him. Most players play with pride or show pride once they win a game or if there team is playing good during the game. Many people in attendance love that ballpark smell and the smell of a ballpark hotdog. People in attendance show there gluttony for the food they serve during the games.

            Sometimes during a game selfish players show there greed to make a play. If the ball is hit towards a defensive player and there about to make the play and you decide to cut in front of them to make a play is very greedy and disrespectful to your teammate. It gets aggravating for teammates if you don’t play a ball hard or not make a play due to your laziness. Players can show there wrath in many ways especially during the playoffs or in the championship game. Pitchers sometimes feel the batter is crowding the plate or if they just don’t like the batter they will peg him or if there’s a play at the plate and the runner decides to try to run the catcher over that also shows wrath.

            All seven deadly sins are committed on a baseball field. There are many different ways players can express the sins on the field before, during or after the game. Most of the positive sins take place on a baseball field but sometimes it gets real competitive and aggravating for some players.
