MLB Teams with aces up their sleeves

What do all of this year's top contenders for the World Series crown have in common? An ace up their sleeve. 2017 has marked a year of unprecedented offensive output in the MLB. Rumors of "juiced" baseballs have surfaced. Herculean sluggers like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge pushed the realms of reality in the this year's Home Run Derby. Superstars such as Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Joey Votto have continued to improve on what are already borderline Cooperstown-worthy careers.

Millett Hall have housed rosters of defeated players during the 2016-17 sports season. They've become familiar with tired bodies, raised voices and bruised confidence. They welcome dreams of championships while they retain the sting of consecutive losing seasons.

Women's club baseball holds first clinic

The metallic "ping" of bats hitting baseballs and the softer thuds of baseballs hitting gloves punctuated cries of encouragement from the members of Miami women's club baseball.

TMS NFL Mock Draft

NICK: While this may be The Miami Student's first mock draft, it certainly isn't ours. We did three just to arrive at this one. Going through your own mock draft combines the intrigue of a puzzle with the power trip of pretending to be in charge of the entire league.
