OMAHA, Neb.-- The College World Series is all about history. After nearly seven decades of ballgames, its official record book is thicker than an old family bible. And it too is filled with names and tales that, to the college baseball community, are considered the scripture of the sport. Even the most casual CWS observers know about the achievements of USC, Texas, LSU, Miami and Arizona State.
They might not realize that the other school from the Grand Canyon State, that state's namesake university, has also written a huge part of that history. The Arizona Wildcats have spent the last week and a half climbing the charts in every statistical category from CWS games won to all-time winning percentage.
