However, observing dramatic sports events and writing about them aren't the same, unless one uses words
to create what is seen, heard, felt, tasted, and smelled, brings the reader into the
game.At a sporting event, observers hear the jeers and cheers from people around them. Let's
look at a section written about a middle-school aged baseball team, the Chargers. Details set
the stage.The next step is to bring the drama of the game to the reader.
With two outs and one runner on base, Shane stood at the plate. For sports
lovers, drama fills any good game. The plays that bring excitement or despair also send
adrenalin pumping through veins. He wiped the sweat from his nike tn forehead with his shirt sleeve,
pushing the light brown hair out of his eyes.Pitch after pitch, Shane swung if the
ball was near the strike zone, hitting foul after foul, or he took the ball
call. Coach Randy considered replacing the team's youngest player with a pinch-hitter but decided Shane
should have his chance. The Chargers won by one run.By using the technique of "show,

ball!" came the call as Shane stepped from the batter's box and removed the batting
helmet. Readers can "see" what happens, watch the action unfold before them.Since football season starts
next week, perhaps I should have used a football game in my example. A bit
of drama should be inserted into any writing; just as a touch of humor helps
smooth the way for dramatic pieces. The count stood three balls and two strikes -
full count - but most people lost count of how many fouls he had hit,
when the perfect pitch met Shane's bat. The smell of a crisp autumn day at
a football game or the sun-drenched breeze at a baseball game leaves a scent unforgettable.
