A hat tip to the seniors of Tufts Club Baseball

By Max Druckman, Ilan Tauber, Ben Goldberg and Elliot Smith-Chauss | May 12

Baltimore Orioles’ Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson once said, “Whether you want to or not, you do serve as a role model. People will always put more faith in baseball players than anyone else.” For young baseball players who matriculate to Tufts and try out for the club baseball team, it is the squad’s seniors, not the professional players in the lofty heights of Major League Baseball, who serve as their role models. In recognition of those seniors’ immense contributions to the program over their four years at Tufts, some of the team’s underclassmen wanted to pay tribute.

Munching with Max: Bagels

By Max Druckman | December 9

There are a few things that I never envision myself doing: skydiving, wearing a Yankees cap, building a chicken coop. These are experiences I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. Until a few weeks ago, I would’ve included eating a bagel in Massachusetts on this list.

Munching with Max: Grilled cheese

By Max Druckman | November 7

I don’t know if this has come across to you all, but I think a lot about food. It occupies a lot of my mental space. Inevitably, these culinary contemplations give rise to complex delusions about elaborate meals. I literally wrote about alligator fries in my last column.

From the oval to the diamond: A ranking of presidential first pitches

By Max Druckman | November 5

A lot has changed since 1910. There have been two world wars and six moon landings. Wawa has expanded into the Midwest. However, some constants have remained, including within the executive branch. Since former President William Howard Taft in 1910, every president has thrown out a first pitch at an MLB game, though former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden did so before taking office. Nonetheless, this merging of two American institutions deserves a closer look as America selects its next leader. Thus, I present the definitive top 10 American presidents’ first pitches.

Munching with Max: Buttermilk & Bourbon

By Max Druckman | October 7

It’s said that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Though I cannot confirm nor deny that, I know that good food makes the heart grow fonder. So, whether you missed me and my lovely insights or just missed the food talk, you’re in luck. After a summer sabbatical, I am taking my talents back to the Daily for another year of munching to the max.

Women’s rowing and men’s lacrosse celebrate national championships at the White House

By Max Druckman | September 3

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., more commonly known as the White House, is one of the most exclusive addresses in the world. To reside there, one has to win a presidential election, and to work there, one has to be appointed to a highly prestigious cabinet position. There is a third method of garnering an invitation to the Executive Mansion, and it may be the most difficult of the three to achieve: winning an NCAA national championship.

The stage, the speaker and the speech: What goes into a commencement address?

By Max Druckman | May 19

The graduation ceremony is a culmination of four years of living and learning. On a beautiful May morning, thousands of students, donning voluminous robes and eager to see their caps fly into the sky, pack onto Tufts’ Academic Quad. As they take their seats, perched in front of the imposing stage, they know that only a few hours separate them from the rest of their adult lives.

Munching with Max: Pizza

By Max Druckman | April 19

Over the last eight months, my taste buds have traveled far and wide, encompassing breakfast, lunch, dinner and all cuisine variations. But, for my final column of the year, I thought it would be fitting to finish with my initial munching inspiration, one of the tastiest creations of all time: pizza.

Softball wins 3 of 4 matchups on successful senior weekend

By Max Druckman | April 19

Winning is hard. Winning consistently is even harder. And yet, for the graduating seniors and fifth-years of the Jumbos softball team, winning has come naturally. Across their entire collegiate careers, the graduating class has compiled a record of 121–30, with a 45–5 NESCAC mark. So, on senior weekend, the best way to honor the program’s veterans was by winning, and that is exactly what occurred.
