Top 20 Plays Of the 2016 MLB Season
Tim Gouw

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
