10 DIVISION I Baseball DIVISION I 2001 Championship Highlights Hurricanes Have Their Way: Miami (Florida) was perfect for the postseason and nearly flaw- less at the finish. The Hurricanes completed a nine-game swath through the Division I Baseball Championship by blowing past Stanford, 12-1, June 16 at the Men's College World Series. The title was Miami's fourth overall and the second under Jim Morris. Tom Farmer notched the victory by scattering a run on four hits over the first 5 2/3 innings, while fellow senior Kevin Brown homered, doubled and drove in five runs. Brown’s home run in the fifth inning was his third of the series and fifth in eight career CWS games. President George W. Bush made his CWS debut at the tournament's June 8 opener between Stanford and Tulane, throwing out the first ball and visiting with all eight teams. Miami, 53-12, reached Stanford pitching for four runs in the third inning and five in the fifth before the Cardinal finally dented the plate. The 12-1 score equaled the largest margin of victory in the championship game's 55-year history, and matched the score from Minnesota's 1956 triumph over Arizona. Miami’s Charlton Jimerson earned most outstanding player honors by batting .333, swiping seven bases and sparkling defensively in center field.

The 2002 college baseball season has officially begun. While most of the schools do not open play until Feb. 1, 2002, there are some that have already opened their seasons entering the final week of January. The 2002 college baseball season promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in memory. Can Miami make it three in a row at Rosenblatt Stadium? The defending champs return a number of key players and will play one of the nation's most demanding schedules. How will baseball at Alex Box Stadium differ now that legendary Skip Bertman is no longer in the first base dugout? New Tigers skipper Ray "Smoke" Laval opened practice on Saturday, Jan. 19, and is the favorite to win the SEC in a vote by the league's 12 head coaches. Can Nebraska claim its third straight 50-win season and turn Rosenblatt Stadium into another sea of red at the 2003 College World Series? Will Stanford journey back to America's heartland again this season, boasting another talented team under Mark Marquess? Who will be the eight teams to fight for the 2003 national championship in June? All of these questions will be answered over the course of the next 21 weeks as the college baseball season unfolds. It promises to be an exciting year. Off the field, there is excitement, too. There will be a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum this year as the annual CoSIDA convention will be held in Rochester, N.Y.

Thank you. A Summer Wildfire: How the greatest debut in baseball history peaked and dwindled over the course of three months by Colin Thomas Reynolds, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISORS: Tracy Dahlby & Bill Minutaglio The narrative itself is an ageless one, a fundamental Shakespearean tragedy in its progression. A young man is deemed invaluable and exalted by the public. The hero is cast into the spotlight and bestowed with insurmountable expectations. But the acclamations and pressures are burdensome and the invented savior fails to fulfill the prospects once imagined by the public. He is cast aside, disregarded as a symbol of failure or one deserving of pity. It’s the quintessential tragedy of a fallen hero. The protagonist of this report is Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg, who enjoyed a phenomenal rookie season before it ended abruptly due to a severe elbow injury.
