Most Beautiful Ballparks in the US
There are 30 different Major League ballparks between the US and Canada. While each ballpark has its own geological features and amenities, some are in need of a major renovation, such as Tropicana Field in Tampa. But then there are the ballparks that stick out because of their craftsmanship and homage to the community. In the late 1990s, new stadiums like Chase Field in Arizona were geared towards a more modern approach. While the swimming pool in right field is a nice touch, Chase Field is now aging poorly with structural issues. Stadiums are now being built with a more classic, retro design to capture the intimacy and essence of a baseball game. Developers like Populous have tried to make ballparks smaller, relying more on views and amenities, getting fans closer to the action. These are the most beautiful ballparks in baseball.

Best Lightweight Shin Guards
When it comes to soccer, we have to wear the best gear and protection that will benefit our performance on the field. Especially protection. Like the majority of sports, the chances of a player getting hurt is pretty high, such as soccer. It's one of the things every soccer player experiences. These players are literally barbaric on the field, so getting injured is expected at every match. But the only way to prevent getting hurt is by wearing the ideal protection, like shin guards. Since our legs are doing all the work and getting the impacts from the soccer ball and other players, our shins can easily get beaten up. That's why all players should wear shin guards, to protect yourself from a soccer injury.

8 Reasons Why You Should Wear Carbon Fiber Shin Guards
Just like almost every other sport, it's so easy for players to get injured by anything. From falling to the impacts from players, it's not surprising that many athletes get hurt in the midst of games. It's possible for them to get all bruised up or even get a broken limb. That's why it's certainly required for all players to wear proper gear to avoid getting injured while playing. And a sport that so many players get hurt playing is soccer. Since soccer is all about impressive footwork, you bet there will be legs getting injured on the field left and right. It's something soccer players experience all the time. This is why they should be wearing shin guards to protect their legs from impact from the ball as well as players!

Top 5 Favorite Seattle Seahawks Games
During Week 8 of the NFL, the Seahawks of Seattle were in a professional football contest versus the Texans of Houston in what was, still is, and very well may be, the best NFL game all season. I became a prisoner of the moment for many reasons. “Is Deshaun Watson the best rookie QB we’ve seen?” “Is Russell Wilson the NFL’s leading candidate for MVP after that performance?” “Should Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell let the reins loose on the offense?” “Is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?” I didn’t ask that last question, only because it’s so blatantly obvious that yes, Jadakiss is as hard as it gets.

If You're on the Fence About Leaving Your Sport: Read This
From the moment I could walk, I had a basketball in my hands. Of course, I tried almost every sport under the sun from softball to soccer to volleyball but in the end, I knew basketball was my sport. In middle school, I was a leading scorer and in 8th grade, made the game-winning shot to win the championship. During travel ball in the summer, I got more MVP and All-Tournament trophies and medals than could fit on my shelves. In high school, I helped lead my school to the first district championship in girl's basketball and by my senior year, to their first state championship appearance. A lot more happened from my freshman year to my senior year. My name was in the paper, I was interviewed and posted about online, and I played in multiple All-Star games even after my senior season was over. That's just the short version.

Are Superteams Good for Sports?
Sport produces two types of fans. The casual fan who will take in a game for leisure or simply the aesthetic of the sport. And then you have the die-hard. The die-hard is there week in and week out. They have jerseys, know the players' origin stories, and let them tell that they could run their organization better than management via their fantasy team. Super teams for both sets of fans have differing consequences. On the one hand, the casual fan who is only here to be entertained enjoys the dominance that the Golden State Warriors bring to the table. The die-hard outside of Oakland, of course, hates this scenario. Parity in sport has always been ideal to maximize interest and so profits. The more teams with a realistic chance to reach the pinnacle means a healthy league and in turn a profitable one. While the notion of multiple Hall of Famers joining forces is not new, there is certainly a trend.
