Sports and Recreation

So far California baseball is working out to be fine sport for Manny Ramirez, as he hit it out of the park in two straight games since debuting with the Dodgers in Los Angeles. Ramirez has four hits and three rbis against the Arizona Diamondbacks on August 3rd, which included the out of the park home run blast in the fifth inning being all the insurance they needed.

Manny Ramirez puts on a heck of a California baseball show making it look like easy recreation as he batted four for five in the 9-3 victory on a beautiful California day in Los Angeles. Manny is averaging a spectacular .615 since joining the Dodgers.

Sports and outdoor activities improve the quality of life for all members of society… no matter where you live, be it California or Washington or British Columbia or Oregon or Ontario, it is important for people to have an outlet from the day to day routine, and it gives a city or area an important bond… as they get behind a team and put their hopes and energies toward the goal of an award or achievement, there is no insurance of a victory so it is like the classic struggle that everyone leaves their home and gets in their car and forgets about their everyday life for a moment as they can cheer on their heroes.

No matter the sport, whether it is baseball, hockey, or golf… tennis, football, or the horse races or basketball, the thrill of the competition is the same, and all can be caught up in it, from members of the teams themselves to anyone watching from home or in the grandstands. Many outdoor recreation activities can also challenge, and become a kind of competition with one’s self… to be able to go hiking in a mountain park and enjoy the recreation of a climb up a steep rugged trail while enjoying the outdoors is another great way to enjoy life.
