Last night was the last time we will ever see Alex Rodriguez suit up in a MLB uniform. It's weird to think that we will never hear about him again. I know I always thought that he would end up being the Homerun King, at least part of me was always hoping that he would. Unfortunately due to steroids and bad health and the lack of production he finally said goodbye last night. Now he didn't get the treatment that the likes of Jeter or Rivera got. No, his was cut short due to weather. And if you think about it, that's pretty much how his career has been. Cut short due to some unfortunate circumstance. But that never took away the fun that this game gave him and the memories that he gave us as fans. So here is a handpicked top 10 list of Alex Rodriguez greatest moments. (By the way half of these are from the Yankees so to forewarn you.)

2. The First Homerun


3. The First Walk-Off

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
