Game 7s are a baseball fan's heaven. This event was the pinnacle of pressure in the sport of baseball as the Cleveland Indians hosted the Chicago Cubs in a winner-takes-all game. These two teams were both starving for a World Series title, as the Cubs haven't won since 1908 and the Indians haven't won since 1940. These are the two longest World Series droughts in the MLB. This game wasn't just...

March 22, 2016 will be a momentous day, not only in politics but also in the sports world. Cuban-American relations have grown, and for the first time since 1923 a sitting President is going to be in the country of Cuba. Cuba and the United States have shared a strained and often nonexistent relationship with each other since the embargo of 1960. President Barack Obama is making several leaps and...
