Capstone #4

If your Capstone project was on how technology has affected baseball where would you go for a required Site Visit? Also did I mention that it can’t be more than an hour from Scarsdale, New York because, your parents won’t take you. All I can say is if you thought of a place YOU’RE NOT HUMAN!!! Okay think about it even if you found a place you have get a time for your parents to take you. However maybe if I get good at convincing my parents and use my brain I can actually do this, I believe! Do you?

At first I started searching on Safari my searches were, “Places to go to learn about baseball” and, “Places to go to learn about technology.” After this I thought I found a place to go to! The place is The Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown New York. There’s only one problem 🙁 remember rule number 2? “It can’t be more than an hour from Scarsdale, New York because, your parents won’t take you.” Yeah so guess how far Cooperstown is from my house. 4 Hours! So as you can guess my mom’s answer was a hard no. I was stumped there was no places that I could go to. I mean I had one idea but I can’t drive 8 hours back and forth just for an hour tour!
Two weeks went bye, still no site visit! 5 days still my site visit is due, still nothing! Then all of a sudden it hit me, and at that moment I felt so stupid why don’t I just go to a Mets game. I know you guys are probably thinking, “Duh Gavin, that is what I thought of right away.” All I can say is why did you not tell me this sooner then! On Sunday I went to the Mets game against the Tigers. One thing I comfirmed was how Statcast affects baseball. I did this by seeing that the Tigers coach was looking at the stats on the paper that he printed out of Statcast to tell his players what the mets normally do. Like where to stand because a certain player normally hits it to the left side…

All in all I did not learn as much as I did from my interview but, it was still something.
