Just got these in the mail from the UK. I've mentioned it before, but love seeing the international flair of these jerseys. Got to watch him during his college playing career, too. Heard he's not only doing well in Cardiff, but he's pretty popular with the fans there, too.

In honor of all the teams and fans coming to Omaha for the NCAA Men's College World Series, I'm sharing my baseball. I got it signed before the 1993 CWS (I worked at the old Rosenblatt Stadium for this and the following series). It is the entire '93 Arizona State team, who I was rooting for that year. Unfortunately, they were the first to go "2 and 'cue" (0-2 in a double elimination format and head home to the barbecue).

This year, more than half the teams are from the SEC (Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Ole Miss; one of the two brackets is nothing but SEC, with Ole Miss being the outsider in the other bracket). Rounding out the rest of the eight teams are North Carolina and newcomers Troy and West Virginia.

If you're one of the fans making your way to town, you definitely want to go to Fan Fest on Thursday. Visit the zoo on one of the days your team isn't playing. Check out the nearby Old Market and eat from Zesto's. Those are just some of the things to do here.

I acquired a couple more Guentzel cards for the collection. Still nothing in the PC with him in a Tampa uniform, but I did get another of him in the Canes jersey.

These beauties just arrived today.

The international Jake Guentzel card has arrived. Pretty sharp looking. Now to add it to the massive collection shared recently.
