Nobody does it bigger than the New York Yankees. They have the biggest payroll in Major League Baseball, which stood at $228,995,945 entering the 2013 season, the most World Series championships in the history of the game with 27 and the highest luxury tax year-in and year-out. They also send players out with dazzling celebrations and honors, just like what happened with Mariano Rivera this year. Known as one of the "Core Four" players for years with the Yankees, paired with shortstop Derek Jeter, pitcher Andy Pettitte and retired catcher Jorge Posada, Rivera and Pettitte decided 2013 would be their last hurrah in the league and would retire at the end of the year. Rivera leaves the game as the all-time saves leader, notching 652 saves through 19 seasons with the Yankees.

Fresh off an 82 for Colonnades Dining Hall, Elon Dining is taking another blow this week. The newest dining hall on campus, Lakeside Dining Hall, earned a below average score from the Alamance County Health Department after it was inspected on September 25th. Lakeside Dining Hall, which according to the ratings includes the Winter Garden Cafe, was given a final score of 90. Officials from the Alamance County Health Department told ELN that the average score for Alamance County restaurants over the past five years is 97.4. According to the inspection record, several food items had expired and had to be thrown away. The soup well lacked a sneeze guard and the main floor drain in the dish room was backed up during the inspection, leaving standing waste water on floor.
