Vince Lombardi once said, “It is essential to understand that battles

Sept. 23 is a date that holds meaningful significance to the Demon Deacon
men’s soccer team. After losing to South Carolina in Columbia on

I hate to say it, but it’s true. Baseball has thrown in the towel.
At a meeting on Nov. 6 in Chicago, the owners’ of baseball’s
30 franchises voted, 28-2, to eliminate two franchises, a decision that
could easily take effect next season. According to ESPN, an individual
within the proceedings named the Minnesota Twins and the Montreal Expos
as the lone dissenters, which is not at all surprising — Minnesota
and Montreal are likely to be the two casualties of the proposed contraction.
It’s less than a week since baseball has wrapped up one of its
most memorable seasons ever.
