Colorado Baseball; College World Series Dreams

Now only eight teams have an equal chance to make their name in baseball, not just college baseball, but baseball lore.

While other sports are crumbling, and falling on hard times due to money and player greed college baseball remains true. There is nothing else quite like the College World Series.

A strong majority of these players have devoted their entire lives, summer after summer. Working on their game in the dead of winter, hoping for the sun to melt the months away and open up the promise of the next spring and next season. And large portion of the players will never make it to the ‘pros’. Most will be minor-league ballplayers and will continue to play the game they love in small-town USA for years to come.

But will Colorado ever get to be a part of a CWS?

Buffalo fans should hope they are. And people within the program think it’s going to happen sooner than you think.

Athletic director Mike Bohn says it’s on his agenda. In an interview with the Boulder Daily Camera he said, “I believe the challenge and the opportunity to associate with this conference is going to give us the opportunity to look at growing and expanding."Andy how can you not like his confidence on the subject.

With CU moving into its new conference in the fall there could be opening for some more expansion beyond just the conference. The Buffs, as of now, are the only team in the newly formed PAC-12 without a baseball team.

And as we approach the 30 year anniversary of the baseball program being terminated in Boulder, we can only dream of summers in the futures; hopefully in the near future.

There’s nothing like Omaha in the summer.
