The College World Series of Baseball

The NCAA baseball World Series is very much like march madness. Kids who have given their all the entire season now play against each other to become the champion of collegiate world. Now it isn't the quality of the players or the intensity of the World Series' games that amaze me, but the fact that these young men put everything they have into a sport they love for nothing more than their love of the game. There is of course a trophy and bragging rights that come along with it but after that what's left? A select few will actually have a career in baseball. Others will try to follow their dreams by playing in the minors just because of the strand of hope that one day they'll play for thousands of screaming fans.

Mostly though, these players will soon have the lives of normal people, maybe they'll raise a family, maybe they'll go to law school, maybe this, maybe that, but what it all comes down to is ten years from now the only part of baseball that will still be in their lives will be the few jerseys in their closet, a baseball game here and there, and of coarse their college uniform and the memories that come along with it. Also, it isn't like college football or basketball where even if you don't become a pro your name can still be know by thousands because both sports are so widely publicized in the USA, most sports fans, including myself, couldn't name more than three, if that, college players.

THE WAY I SEE IT- So what it comes down to in collegiate baseball is a bunch of college kids, who could of been going to parties, making some extra money, or studying for finals all spring and summer, who have decided to dedicate themselves to a sport they just because of their love of the game.
