Almost two weeks ago, on Easter Sunday, the 2013 Major League Baseball season began as the Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers. After over 50 years in the National League, the Astros played their first game in the American League.

This move has evened up all divisions across the MLB, with each league containing three divisions of five teams. Because of this, almost every day will contain an interleague game (AL team vs. NL team), an occurrence that was limited to a few weeks in July in previous years. With all that being said, the 2013 season is sure to be an exciting and interesting one.

Biologist Kelly Gestring caught a 14 pound fish in Broward County, nearly breaking an international record, and he isn’t happy about it. The species of fish Gestring caught was a bullseye snakehead, an invasive species in Florida’s freshwater systems. It can breathe air, enabling it to survive outside of water for days. They were discovered in Broward County’s waters in 2000, and haven’t been eliminated.
