We are so close to our favorite time of year again, Baseball season is upon us. To kick off Spring Training, I am going to recap the top plays and moments of the 2016 MLB season.

20. Chicago Cubs, Travis Wood's catch in the ivy vines of Wrigley Field.

Left field. Incredible catch. Need I say more? Let the picture do justice.

19. Blue Jays, Kevin Pillar's crazy catch in the 4th inning of the AL wildcard game.

18. Miami Marlins, Ichiro Suzuki's 4,257th career hit.

17. Colorado Rockies, Trevor Story's seven homer streak as a rookie.

In his first six games of his MLB career. Swoon.

16. New York Mets, Curtis Grandson's catch to rob Giants of extra base hit.

15. Detroit Tigers, Michael Fulmer's 33.1 consecutive scoreless innings.

14. Washington Nationals, Bryce Harper's 100th home run.

AND IT IS OUUTTTAAAAAA HEREEEEEE.

13. Toronto Blue Jays, Josh Donaldson's winning run past Rangers catcher in 10th inning.

12. Boston Red Sox, David Ortiz's farewell to Fenway Park and its fans.

11. Cleveland Indians, Francisco Lindor's smart toss.

10. San Francisco Giants, Joe Panik's walk off RBI double in the 13th inning.

9. White Sox, Team effort to pull off a 9-3-2-6-2-5 play to beat the Texas Rangers.

8. Chicago Cubs, Javier Baez, the first Cubs player since 1907 to steal home base in a postseason game.

7. Houston Astros, George Springer's foul into a deep fryer.

6. Kansas City Royals, Alcides Escobar's double-play.

5. New York Mets, Bartolo Colon's first career home run.

4. Chicago Cubs, David Ross. Just David Ross.

What a way to end a baseball career, coming in on a run scoring double and hitting a home run in Game 7 of the World Series.

3. Cleveland Indians, Team effort... blowing a 3-1 lead.

We will now take a moment of silence, for those still mourning.

2. Miami Marlins, Dee Gordon’s leadoff HR for Jose Fernandez.

On a serious note, MLB did have some monumental losses as a community, but they will always be remembered.

1. Chicago Cubs, breaking the 'curse' and winning the World Series for the first time since 1908.

The ultimate W flew that night.


And on that note, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back baseball. Its good to see you again.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
