This one had the appearances of a Hollywood movie.
The University of California (Cal) baseball program was dead. The administration told baseball and other sports last year that the curtain was falling on their programs. But as Lee Corso on ESPN says, “Not so fast my friend.”
People responded to the cries of Cal baseball to save its program. The funds streamed in and the curtain didn’t fall after all.
When you come back from a near death experience, you are just happy to be alive. The Cal Bears probably felt those same emotions. So an already special season became really special. The Bears made it all the way to this year’s College World Series.
Fans all across America were cheering for this scrappy bunch. America loves comeback stories.
Unfortunately, the dream of a championship ended yesterday for the Bears. Top-rated Virginia eliminated Cal after the Bears put wins together during the tournament.
But they say the journey is sometimes better than the destination. And hopefully Cal will receive another chance in the not-too-distant future to claim a crown.
The Bears proved this season that the most successful team doesn’t always finish in first place.
