Faced with the difficult task of finding the top 10 stories from a century of work, the current staff decided to limit this list to our lifetime. While we’re sure each Daily News staffer has their personal list of top stories, this was our best effort to reflect on the events and investigations our campus has seen in the 21st century.

Holland sends a pitch inside, and Castellanos blasts a shot to deep left field for his ninth home run of the season, giving the Reds a 4-0 lead. Nobody watching the broadcast on Fox Sports Ohio cared. All they were paying attention to was longtime Reds’ commentator Thom Brennaman.

Coming from a house with two older brothers, both more than a decade older than me, I have never been one to let a man boss me around. From a young age, I learned I can be tiny and powerful at the same time using both my words and actions.
