You know while I was watching the Championship game of the CWS last night, I realized that this was really awesome. How many recent years have gone by and thses contests been blowouts. I mean I started watching the CWS while in high school, 1983, you know when Texas was a real power. Clemens and cast were killer then. You had Barry Bonds at Arizona State. And "OSU" was not Oregon State but Oklahoma State. Well there colors are close. But these team battled each year to a close and competitive championship.
Not so recently, until now. North Carolina and Oregon State battled, and I mean battled like the old days, last night. With Oregon State scoring the winning run in there last at bat, in the bottom of the eighth and facing one the nations top pitchers. They manufactured, now thats a word you don't hear often anymore, the winning run and took home the Beavers fist baseball championship.
These kids battled and battled right down to the end, like the sport is meant to be played. No arguing, no fighting, nothing but competitive spirit and sportsmanship to the highest. I was thinking about stopping watching the CWS but these kids have saved the game for me. At least until next year.
