I thought it would be appropriate to end the year highlighting my favorite sport. I have interned for a minor league baseball team my past two summers, so I have an extra special place in my heart for some baseball players. And, after you see this picture, how could you not?

Here is a top-five roundup of the IU baseball boys who truly knock it out of the park.

1. Ryan Fineman

His last name suits him VERY well. He is also one of two captains for this years' team. If ya didn't date the football captain in high school, maybe it's time to give baseball a try? Just sayin'.

2. Chris Lowe

This dark-haired, dark-eyed outfielder is, unfortunately...... TAKEN :( Even so, we can still appreciate that smolder and his great ability to catch pop-flys.

3. Laren Eustace

This outfielder and Illinois native is hot on and off the field. Athlete AND majoring in business. Kelley boys ALL. THE. WAY.

4. Pauly Milto

They say a picture is worth a thousand words so honestly, this doesn't even need words. I cannot decide which is cuter, the puppy or the 6'3'' bearded player, but I sure as heck would like to spend some time with him to decide.

5. Matt Gorski

Finally, we have Matt Gorski who, as to my best efforts, cannot be found anywhere on social media. I did read a study early this week that said more than 20% of women said a man with no social media is hotter than a man who's all over it.

Well played Gorski.... well played.
