| My jaw just dropped as far as it can go. There is NO baseball that is better than college baseball. The ping of the bat is a sound unmatched. I can tell you that college baseball here is HUGE. The College Word Series is one of the greatest sporting events to be involed with, and there are sooo many fans that travel all across the country just to see it. I don't know why college baseball doesn't get the rep. that football and basketball does by ESPN and such, at least until the post-season, but I can tell it's not because they use alum. bats. I hate pro baseball but I am in love with college baseball. I don't really know how to accurately describe myself...but I just have this connection to college baseball. College baseball gets a lot of love in the midwest and the deep south..thats where the majority of the fans are.
The greatest sports game I've ever been too was last years CWS game where Arizona St and Nebraska faced off. Jeff Larish hit back-to-back-to-back homeruns to win the game for Arizona St in the 10th I think. Amazing...
I don't even know what to say.. I just love college baseball and if they ever changed to wood bats it would be the worst thing to ever happen to the sport....
As the late great USC coach Rod Dedeaux said..
"What this has turned into is beyond even my wildest dreams, for eleven months out of the year, most of these people could care less about college baseball. And then it comes time for Omaha."
"When you put together your scheduled for the season, you put down Omaha. It's Omaha. That's what you talk to your kids about -- that's what you're trying to do -- get to Omaha."
LSU is a huge baseball school, but when they don't make the CWS..the LSU fans still come to Omaha.. That says a lot about a sport in my opionion.
