After the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series, several teams in the Major Leagues are looking for a better way to develop their rosters similar to the 2016 Champions. The key in doing so starts with changes in the front office and then the team manager. Those two positions need to be filled before you can even think about what players you need to work the system. One of the teams that are looking to develop a roster similar to the Cubs is the Atlanta Braves. The Braves finished their 2016…

seen in Barry’s definitions of classic men and women. He writes “Soon all four of us were in there, watching the Annual Fall Classic, while the women prattled away about human relationships or something.” How are men supposed to talk when a World Series game is going on? Britt also presents this tone. She is a sloppy person; in most places sloppiness is seen as a bad thing. Because of this Britt comes up with reasons why sloppy people are actually superior to neat people. She says “Neat people…

1) Can you touch on the late season push the Rangers pulled off to take the division and how they managed to do it? How will that carry over to the playoffs? The Rangers have been hot in the back end of the season, and there are many factors that go into that. I think the first thing has been the moves that GM Jon Daniels made at the deadline. Going out and getting Cole Hamels has been absolutely huge, as it gives them an ace to trout out there every fifth day. They also got Southpaw Jake…

It came to an end in October, 2003. According to “Performance-Enhancing Drugs in Baseball” by California State University Professor Paul D. Staudohar, when the San Francisco Chronicle posted that the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO) had been giving out illegal performance enhancing drugs to athletes…

When I was little I preferred playing Harry Potter over playing hide and seek. Usually I played Ginny and I would be kidnapped by “Bellatrix”. Then I got rescued and we’d start the game over. To me the world 's made up in books were so much more interesting than the real world. They were better, brighter, and full of magic. My love of reading from a young age was the foundation to so many other branches of my personality as well. I read so much that understanding words and writing them was…

“When do you guys want breakfast?” is the normal group text for the Wallwork study group on Saturday mornings. The group is made up of old friends that went to the same high school and some new ones we met along the way. The first responses come within the hour and as college students the time agree on is well past normal breakfast times at 11:30 am. With the time set, we head to Folgers dining hall.
