We are a baseball family.&nbsp;I choose baseball. My favorite team is The New York Yankees\u2026 Whitey Ford, Yogi Beri, Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth.&nbsp;The Babe Ruth Story, with William Bendix is playing at the South Hills Theater. I\u2019ve seen it twice. Paul tells us to research our subject. I read the sports page of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Think about your story.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Write down key words, not sentences.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Key words remind you of your story.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><strong>You are going to tell your story, not read it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Practice, practice, then practice again and again.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>Dad\u2019s a good audience.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s exciting standing in front of my classmates telling Pirate fans about the New York Yankees.
