CWS

Looking forward to the CWS again this year. My oldest daughter and myself, enjoy going, or even sitting at home, watching on ESPN. Every year, we pick our favorite team to win it all. We usually end up picking another team throughout the series, because our original pick is eliminated early on. I really enjoy seeing a new team emerge occasionally, but, I enjoy some of the perennials also. Last year Fresno State was a giant killer! It was nice to see Tulane get the opportunity to play. I always enjoy Cal State Fullerton. A few years back, I was working on a remodel job, and the homeowners were hosting a family of their friends from California during the CWS. The family's son happened to be a pitcher for Cal State, and that year they won it all! Very exciting! I really enjoy the LSU fans. They're some of the most loyal fans in college sports. One of the recent years, LSU did not make it to the CWS, but some of the fans came to Omaha regardless. A few of the boosters were given 500 lbs. of shrimp from the governor, and told to go to the CWS, tailgate, and feed Omaha! What a class act! I must admit, I'll miss the CWS at Rosenblatt, but as long as the fans come, it's really the people, not the building, that make it the whole experience. Once again, I'm looking forward to another exciting 2 weeks of college baseball. If you see me at the ballpark, feel free to buy me a beer. Batter up!
