Just to get into context the battle of hastings occurred the 14th October 1066, the Normans invaded and fought the English; the battle ended up with the Norman conquest of England.

King Harold II of England confronts King William II of Normandy (William the Conqueror). During the battle Harold died. A new age started for the English people.

In my opinion this war changed completely the history due to the new Norman lifestyle, including language, laws, religion and culture.

Military, the battle is very tactical and well planned with the archers and cavalry attacking according to the situation in which the battle transformed. The fierce warriors of the Norman king were fast and brutal, maybe that was what make them win. when Harold dies its troops probably felt like if they had nothing more to fight for nor a place to hide.

At that time it was, maybe, a great success, nowadays we still study it and learn from it how culture changes and evolves.

Why is baseball a metaphor for life?

Life is full of rules and so are sports. In life, sometimes you must run and do some home runs, you've got to be fast, frequently the fastest in all you do so you are always ranking on top.

Life makes you play your best strategies to beat down your opponents and it also makes you do your best.

In my opinion life is a game and according on how well you play its how well positioned you'll be.
