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.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
