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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
