My name is Matt and I chose to write my research paper about the New York Yankees. The New York Yankees have always been my favorite baseball team and I believe them to be the best baseball team to ever exist. My goal in writing this paper was to use statistics and facts to prove why the New York Yankees were, and still are, the best organization and baseball team to ever exist. My favorite part in doing this research paper was the personal interview. I did my personal interview with my dad and he told me stories about when he went to games and when he watched games as a child. My dad explained to me who the best players were when he was growing up and who his favorites were. My dads opinion on the best players and the statistically listed best players had a very strong correlation; this is usually the case with most fans. The personal interview with my dad was my favorite part of the research paper because I got to learn about the games and the players who played for the Yankees before I watched them.
I do not see myself as much of a writer and this paper was a bit of a challenge for me, structure wise. Although I had a little bit of trouble with the structuring and format of the paper, I feel that I definitely got to express myself and my love for the Yankees. I hope that my paper portrays why I think that the New York Yankees are the best team to ever exist and that the statistical facts lead other people to believe this as well. I enjoyed writing this paper because I love the topic that I researched and was interested in everything that I was reading and writing about. Because I was interested in this topic, I did not have a problem with fulfilling the length requirement of this paper; I could have written a lot more if it were necessary. One problem I encountered while writing my research paper was that as I was researching, I found a lot of blogs about the New York Yankees which mostly consisted of opinions rather than facts. I knew that I could not use any of this information because this would just be adding other people’s opinions to my own, rather than supporting my own opinions with facts. Overall, I did not have that much of a hard time with this paper and I hope that for my future writing experiences, I will be allowed to choose my own topic. I think that the reason why this paper was not so difficult for me to do, was because I was very interested in the topic and I actually wanted to read and write about it.
