Quite frankly a bat flying into the stands and spilling my beer would be enough for me.

My parents kept the unhealthiest food in the world around.

My idea of rebellion was to get interested in hippie food and never eat anything with artificial colors/flavors. I might have to make an exception for Otter Pops, though, I had forgotten how much I love them.

If you put Jarrod Washburn on the trading block, you don’t get any offers. Nada. He’s immovable. Same thing with Miguel Batista.

one of my favorite freshman moments.

A hallmate and I were finished a few days early and were kicking around the dorm until everyone else finished. One night some people across the hall were studying and repeatedly kept barking at us for making too much noise in our lounge around 8-9pm. So we started lobbing peanuts at them across the atrium. They responded by closing the shutters to their lounge. My hallmate ended the fight by filling up a giant water balloon and shotputting it into the shutters whereupon it shattered and soaked them all and their notes.
