I’m so very happy that the guys at The Classical decided to publish my story about the College World Series in Omaha:
“Imagine a herd of bison loosed in a UNESCO world heritage site and you’ll understand the waves of dismay that coursed through parts of the baseball community when photos of a denuded and desecrated Rosenblatt Stadium hit the internet. Hall-of-Famers Bob Gibson and Stan Musial played minor-league ball there as young Cardinals prospects. George Brett passed through in 1973 on his way to Kansas City. Dave Winfield, Roger Clemens and Huston Street had memorable collegiate postseason appearances on the same diamond. Rosenblatt had been the home of the College World Series for more than six decades, before Omaha’s city fathers and the NCAA agreed in 2009 to build bigger and supposedly better digs for the event.”
