I have been a lifelong lover and avid follower of the national pastime since around the time I received my first baseball card, an Alex Rodriguez rookie card, about 13 years ago. In a sport in which it has now become common knowledge that the majority of the best players over the past decade and a half were under the influence of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs), A-Rod was the one player who kept me interested in the sport. Unlike other prominent sports, baseball does not have a consensus "greatest of all time" (basketball has Michael Jordan, hockey has Wayne Gretzky). A-Rod was going to be the one to settle the debate. He was the player we were going to be able to look back on and say that, at least statistically speaking, he was the greatest player ever. More importantly, we would be able to look back and say to ourselves that even in an era when everyone else seemed to be doing it wrong, he did it right.

Despite having seven games left on their schedule, the Lady Jays basketball team (9-10, 7-5) knew that Tuesday's game against Dickinson (10-9, 7-5) could be the most important game they play this season. Battling it out with the Red Devils for fifth place in the Centennial Conference, where the top five teams make the conference playoffs, every possession mattered, every mistake was magnified. An 11-point loss to Dickinson earlier this season served to heighten the pressure even more.

The Super Bowl is competition at its finest. Finely-tuned athletic machines go all out in a winner-take-all showdown for the world's most prestigious sports title. While you may never play in a Super Bowl, there is still hope for some of us average Joes to become champions at something (other than a science fair). Here are some competitions you may be interested to know about:

Students at Hopkins often look down their noses at most of our varsity teams simply because they are not supported by the glitz and glamour of a big-time college athletics program. You will never get to see 100,000 screaming fans cheering on Blue Jay Football in a BCS Bowl game on New Year's Day. Yet, Hopkins football gave fans and supporters a small-scale taste of big time college football at Homewood Field on Saturday, Nov. 22 as the Jays competed against Catholic University in the ECAC Southeast Bowl.

While the varsity men's and women's soccer teams were streaking in the NCAA playoffs, an often overlooked soccer team at Hopkins was similarly making a name for itself. Two weekends ago, the Hopkins men's club soccer team competed at the National Campus Championship Series National Soccer Championships at the University of Alabama. Competing against club teams from other colleges with Division I soccer programs, and whose student bodies have roughly four times the size of Hopkins, the club team showed just how impressive its accomplishments actually are.

Syracuse may have defeated Hopkins in the NCAA championship game, but now the Blue Jays are stealing one from the Orange. On Monday, Hopkins lacrosse received a letter of intent from John Greeley, the top-ranked lacrosse recruit from the class of 2009. Greeley, from LaFayette, N.Y., just south of Syracuse, had given a verbal commitment to Hopkins in June, but affirmed that he would play for the Jays when he signed his LOI.

Women's soccer player Allie Zazzali loves to play scrabble. And if you used Z-a-z-z-a-l-i as a scrabble word, you could rack up a cool 100-plus points. It's fitting that such a high-scoring name belongs to this high-scoring forward. She notched nine points on four goals and an assist in the final two games of the season on her way to being named this week's Athlete of the Week.

For both the new and the most seasoned Hopkins students, most tend to think of Hopkins varsity athletics with respect to lacrosse and lacrosse only. After all, we have won two of the past four national championships, 28 overall, and were national runners-up last season (after knocking off Duke in the semi-finals in what is considered one of the biggest lacrosse upsets of all time). And while lacrosse is the most followed sport here at Hopkins, there is much more to athletics here than just lacrosse. Here are eight helpful introductory facts for Hopkins athletics.

In the NCAA tournament, where heroes are made and champions crowned, the JHU Blue Jays (11-5) knew that everything was on the line in their semi-final matchup versus Duke (18-2). Facing a Blue Devil team which the Blue Jays defeated in last year's NCAA championship game, Hopkins knew to expect a fight, even on the heels of a 17-6 Duke win on April 5. For Hopkins, which has six senior starters, a loss in this game would mean the end of the careers of Hopkins superstars Paul Rabil and Kevin Huntley, two of the most prolific scorers in Blue Jay history. A win, however, would give the Jays a shot at winning a third national championship in four years.

History was made at the University of Virginia's Kl??ckner stadium on Sunday, but not in the Blue Jays' favor.

In a highly anticipated rematch of last year's national championship game, the second-ranked Duke Blue Devils (11-1) defeated the 11th-ranked Blue Jays (3-5) 17-6 to mark an unprecedented fifth consecutive loss for the Blue Jays. This was the first time the Jays have lost five consecutive games since statistics were kept, a period spanning 125 years.

While our mascot, the blue jay, is not usually classified as a tenacious animal, the Hopkins Blue Jays (13-8, 9-5) played with the tenacity of pit bulls on Saturday as they defeated the Haverford Fords (5-15, 3-11) 64-63 in overtime. The Jays refused to quit in a game which saw 18 lead changes and 14 ties, culminating in overtime with junior Scott Weisenfeld's game winning jump shot with four seconds remaining.
