I work for CNN, it’s a powerful reporting company from the future. They sent me to take information about three people, Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, and Jackie Robinson. I’ve been given a series of different questions to ask them, but I must be careful. Paradoxes are a highly dangerous manner so I need to stay undercover. If anyone finds out that I came from the future I’m toast. That’s why they sent a lowlife reporter like me to do their dirty work. They gave me a house to use as a base of operations and the ring to teleport back in my own time. Before I teleported into the future, they handed me a note. The note said that I need to host a fancy dinner party to lure them in. After a few days everything’s set up.

I gave him a bag of ice instead and told him to put it on his wound. He did as I said and was awed by the works of it. I guess people of this time don’t know the remedies for many things yet. When Jackie was about to leave the doorbell rang. I opened the door and Ted Williams was there. He was wearing a plad shirt with ragged blue jeans and had a baseball bat in his hand. I was surprised to see him this late, but at least he came. I showed him in and he thanked me for the invite. He looked a lot younger close up than he did in his early games. He looked about twenty or so. He took the shortest seat and sat down. Before the party I looked him up and saw that he had hit over 500 homeruns in his life. That’s ridiculous so I needed to ask him how he hit so well. He said that you imagine where the balls going to be and swing. I’m not sure how I’m going to do that, but I guess if he can do it, so can I. Soon after that I asked him how he even started playing baseball. He said that his father loved playing baseball so he followed hisShow MoreRelatedThe Paradox Of A Paradox1771 Words   |  8 PagesIntroduction A paradox is a statement or idea that is contradictory in nature giving opposing meanings at the same time.

The same can be said for cattle, if one keeps removing cattle from a herd when will it no longer be a herd.
