Baseball Is Back

Some talents are more unique than others

It's that time of the year again: baseball season. Whether you like baseball or not, a day at the ballpark is never a disappointment. The Seattle Mariners, while their record might be slightly embarrassing, have mastered skills and tricks that no other major league team has acquired. These "skills" may be either impressive or embarrassing, but they are talents nonetheless.


Creative Errors

Only in Seattle can a professional baseball player fall on top of a ball without even touching it at all.

At-Bat Rituals

Seager wouldn't have a .312 batting average without his special techniques and traditions. It might be unorthodox, but it gets the job done.

Diving Techniques

The Mariners even make diving look majestic. It becomes a competition over who can get their feet highest in the air.

Voluptuous Beards

Only in Seattle do the athlete's beards make visiting ballplayers want to physically touch them. Good thing we don't care about personal space here!

Hometown Support

Seattle sure loves its sports teams. Where else will you see two football players cheering on The King, Felix Hernandez?

Inspirational Dance Moves

Gotta keep up on the endurance, right? Baseball can seem like a slow sport at times, but not when there is so much dancing to be done!

Excellent Judgement

That field at Safeco Field is so large! How can one player be expected to cover so much ground? You win some, you lose some.

Constant Enthusiasm


We don't take homeruns lightly here in Seattle. Why run around the bases once when you can keep going? Just listen to your teammates, right?

Errors are Contagious

Sometimes, just sometimes, the Mariner's have the power to instill so much fear into their opponents that they make embarrassing mistakes to our benefit. Contagion with errors is not a rumor in baseball.

Gum-Mouth Coordination

Some skills don't even have to do with a bat and a ball. Concentration as a baseball coach is a feat in itself.

Bodacious Booty


If you don't like watching baseball, there is one thing that keeps the fans coming back for more: butts. Why else would they make baseball pants so tight?

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
