    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 2, Feb. 27, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Jeff Hurd Before basketball’s March Madness descends upon us, it is a little amazing that some Division I baseball teams are approaching the 20-game mark (notably Kansas at 9-7-1 through Feb. 23 and Cal Poly at 12- 4 prior to its Feb. 25-29 games). Before you know it, the NCAA Regionals will be upon us. This absolutely is one of the busiest but most intriguing times of the college sports year with as many as 10-12 sports occurring simultaneously from baseball to men’s volleyball to golf to indoor track to gosh- knows-what. It’s also refreshing to welcome the initial 2004 NCAA Division II NCBWA poll to this month’s newsletter and to see some of the baseball teams from cooler weather regions migrating south for the annual ritual of spring break baseball. The incessant pings of the aluminum bats remind us that the sights and smells of springtime and conference baseball cannot be far off; enjoy and sneak out of the arenas when time permits for some great diamond activity. Sincerely, Jeff Hurd - NCBWA President - Western Athletic Conference NCBWA Division I Players of Week The NCBWA Division I National Players of the Week are into their third week of the 2004 season. Nominees for the aw2ard are taken from Conference players of the week and announced on Tuesday. NCBWA Vice-President Mike Montoro of Southern Miss ([email protected]) coordinates the weekly awards.

    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 45, No. 1, Jan. 24, 2006) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Todd Lamb NCBWA Membership: The prognosticators have made their preseason picks. The preseason polls have been announced. The preseason All- America teams are out. A majority of the preseason watch lists have been distributed. Every team has high expectations and goals for the season. Now it is time to play ball. Obviously, the calendar has changed since the last NCBWA newsletter, but now it is finally time to wish followers of college baseball a Happy New Year! It seems a little soon to be writing that – at least from Columbus, Ohio – but this weekend opens the 2006 college baseball season. Granted, not many schools will be taking to the field, but there are a few; all before Ohio State, and many other schools around the country, begins practice. The Buckeyes take to the indoor practice turf of the Woody Hayes Athletics Center Monday. Kudos to the NCAA. The organization’s board of directors approved a uniform start date for college baseball beginning with the 2008 season. The legislation stipulates the season start the Friday that falls 13 weeks before the selection of the NCAA tournament field, which the last few years has been Memorial Day. That means this season would not begin until Friday, Feb. 24. Coincidentally, that is the same day Ohio State opens its season against Wake Forest in a tournament at the University of Florida. In 2008, opening day for all of college baseball will be Feb.
