J.J. Watt

Justin James Watt, better known as JJ Watt, is a defensive end for the Houston Texans. He was born on March 2, 1989 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. In the 2011 NFL draft, the Texans picked up JJ Watt in the first round. JJ is a great player on the field and off the field. In games he sacks, tackles, and puts pressure on the quarterback. When he is not playing football he visits children in hospitals to surprise them and put a smile on there face. He is also very generous to the kids by giving them his cleats, gloves and autograph pictures. In July of 2011, family friends of mine got in a horrible car accident. The parents were killed, two of the kids were paralyzed from the waiste down, and the sister had a minor injuries. JJ went to visit the childeren in the hospital and they were so suprized. That's when he created and built a connection and friendship with them. Since the horrible accident, JJ has hung out with the three kids and written there names on his gameday gloves or cleats for good luck. JJ Watt is a great player and person from sacking quarterbacks on the field to connecting with families and childeren off the field. In my opinion JJ is an amazing role model to young kids today.

Odell Beckham Jr

Odell Beckham Jr., also known as OBJ,  is a wide receiver for the New York Giants. He was born on November 5, 1992 in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 2014, the Giants drafted OBJ in the first round of the NFL draft.  In his Rookie season, OBJ made an outstanding one handed catch against the Dallas Cowboys. People say it was the greatest catch ever made in the NFL. This is when I believe he became unstoppable and incredible. In addition, he had 91 receptions, 1,305 yards, and 12 touchdowns in this rookie year. Odell has a signature touchdown celebration  for every time he scores called "the Whip." The Whip has become popular all over the world with many kids and fans participating. This move has made Odell  quite famous. Odell Beckham Jr. has become a young superstar with an amazing football future ahead, and hopefully will make more outstanding plays as he grows in the NFL.

 

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Los Angeles Dodgers are an MLB team that play at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers have won five World Series in Brooklyn and Los Angeles. In 1958, the Brooklyn Dodgers moved the team to Los Angeles. Dodgers' announcer, Vin Scully, has announced games on the radio for 66 seasons. Next year will be his last season announcing games as he plans to retire. Vin has many famous phrases such as: "It's time for Dodger baseball" and "The deuces are wild, two balls, two strikes, two on and two outs." This season, the Dodgers are in the playoffs for the third year in a row.  The Cardinals eliminated the Dodgers the last two post seasons. The  Dodgers should have a long playoff run this year because they have a stronger roster with Jimmy Rollins, Zach Grienke, Adrian Gonzalez, Yasiel Puig , Joc Pederson, Clayton Kershaw, Howie Kendrik, Justin Turner, and Chase Utley. They have all contributed and helped  the Dodgers to win the NL WEST and clinched home field advantage through the NLDS.   The Dodgers have had an amazing season this year due to all of their star players and coaching staff. I look forward to watching the Men in Blue this postseason and hopefully win another World Series.

Bryce Harper

Bryce Max Harper is a professional baseball player who plays for the Washington Nationals. He was born October 16, 1992 in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2012, at the age of nineteen, he was the number one prospect heading into the MLB draft. In high school, Bryce hit a home run 502 feet long, and in college he hit one 570 feet long!  Bryce missed most of the 2014 season with a torn thumb ligament that he got while diving head first into third base. When he came back from his injury, Bryce hit more than twenty homeruns and was a total Beast helping the Nationals make it to the playoffs. Earlier in the 2015 season, Bryce's teammate, Jonathan Papelbom, lost his temper and began choking and hitting him in the dugout after Bryce flew out to left field. Following the fight, Papelbom was suspended for the rest of the season and Bryce had to miss a start in the next game for hitting back and defending himself. This season he has 41 homeruns, 96 runs batted in, and a .331 batting average. Bryce Harper is a young and talented superstar who has a great baseball future ahead.
