  3. We all have a favorite team and player. But what makes your favorite player better than mine? You must determine what makes one athlete better than the rest. Select six major league baseball players from any team. After researching data from your players create and display charts and graphs and present your final decision. Be prepared to convince your classmates that your baseball player is “best”.

  4. Task • Your first task is to define what makes the “best” baseball player. Write an opinionated paragraph to explain your THOROUGH reasoning. (1/2 pg) • Next select six major league baseball players from any team. These are the players you will be researching to discover which one is the “best”. • Then you will collect data from sports websites about each player. • Finally, you will use this information to select the “best” player in the major league. You will present your conclusions in poster format.
