Posted Jun 15, 2009
At 3:00 p.m. on Friday, June 13, 2008, the eight head coaches of the NCAA Division I Men's College World Series strolled one-by-one into the Hall of Fame Room of Omaha's Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. On the field their teams were being rotated through a continuous gauntlet of batting practice, team photos, media interviews, and mandatory all-hands-on-deck autograph sessions. Tomorrow the games would begin. Today was about acclimation, atmosphere, and smiles.
