Home Run Proposal

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2017/11/02/carlos-correa-proposes-girlfriend-after-astros-win-world-series/824205001/

   After winning the World Series, Carlos Correa took the chance to propose to his girlfriend. This article isn't exactly sports related but there was two things Correa ended up celebrating that night. The article isn't exactly about the Astros winning the world series but about proposal after the game. The article did very good in including pictures of the happy couple smiling at the camera after he proposed. They did a good job of putting in quotes of what Correa said during the proposal and his interview. The article was short and brief, and got straight to the point by being informative but having a more lightened mood to it.

    What the article did wrong is hard to pick out. This is because it gave the important details while it being bored and kept short, which was a very good idea. The only thing the article could've improved on would be including the actual video of the proposal as well as pictures while it went down. Other than that, it was a good article.

  If I were to write an article like this, I would definitely input pictures/video of the situation so that way the curious readers wouldn't have to search for them. I would also keep it short and brief because even though I am writing about the proposal, I am a sports writer and wouldn't want one of my articles to be long and a romantic/sappy toned for those who stumble upon it. Other than that, that is how I would do my article. This week I was a leader as I was able to do something different and actually work sound for game day the first time since I've been in e-comm. Was very easy and I was proud to know I could do it even if the only thing I did was press two buttons.
