The College World Series is the culmination of the NCAA Division I
Baseball Championship which determines the NCAA Division I college
baseball champion. It takes place in June of each year. Since 1950, the
tournament has been held at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska;
earlier tournaments were held at Hyames Field in Kalamazoo, Michigan
(1947-48) and Wichita, Kansas (1949). The name is derived from that of
the Major League Baseball World Series championship.
2007:
The 2007 College World Series was held from June 15-24, with 2006
champion Oregon State defending its title over 2006 runner-up North
Carolina, winning 11-4 and 9-3 in the best-of-three series. The last
team to repeat as national champions was LSU in 1997. The last repeat of
the previous year's finals was in 1973, when USC defeated Arizona State
for the second straight year. (USC won five straight titles from 1970-74.)
In 2007 the eight teams that advanced to the CWS started from an initial
field of 64 teams, first from the 16 four-team double-elimination
regionals. Oregon State began the tournament as a #3 seed in the
regionals, in the lower half of the 64 teams.
The 16 winners from regionals advanced to the super regionals, 8
head-to-head matchups in a best-of-three format. The winners of these 8
super regionals advanced to the College World Series in Omaha.
The regional portion of the 2007 NCAA baseball tournament took place on
June 1-4 at 16 sites. The eight site super-regional round took place
June 8-11 at Rice, Louisville, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Oregon
State, Cal State Fullerton, Arizona State, and Wichita State. Wichita
State was the only host not to advance, falling to UC Irvine in two games.
Baseball at the Summer Olympics had its unofficial debut at the 1904
Summer Olympics and has been contested in 12 Olympiads (including its
centennial in 2004 Athens). Since then, 17 different nations have
appeared in Olympic baseball competition, with 3 of those nations, Cuba,
Italy and Japan, appearing in all 4 medal editions of the tournament.
Baseball has a long history as an exhibition/demonstration sport in the
Olympics. However, for 1992 Barcelona the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) granted the sport medal status. Olympic baseball is
governed by the International Baseball Federation (IBAF).
