HOMEWORK #3

NOUN PRACTICE

PART I: Circle all of the nouns in the following story.

He would always say that he did not force me into baseball. It was my choice. I guess I want to believe him, but truly it was not all my choice. All my earliest pictures show me wearing shirts with baseballs on them, baseball hats. I even had baseball shoes – two pairs before I could even walk! My dad had a lot of love for the game.

When I was two, dad decided that I was ready for live pitching. He even began the long negotiation with my mom about one day outfitting the backyard with a batting cage. He hoped this would cause me much happiness in the future.
