Some of my fraternity brothers will gather at the College World Series

This is a note from Mike Ball.

Thought that you might like to know that the NCAA is recognizing the 1970 USC National Champ baseball team on the field next Saturday night June 19 at the College World Series in Omaha. ESPN is televising the games, and we're not sure if our introduction (during the 5th inning of the second round game starting at 4PM PST) will be televised...what do you think?....run commercials, or show a bunch of old guys that haven't touched a ball in 30-40 years?

This is the final year for Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, which coincides with the 40th anniversary of our 1970 championship, which also was the first of five titles in a row for SC...never done before and will never be done again! One of my buddies who works at the NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis (where I lived for 19 years before moving to Florida) said that the NCAA wanted to recognize USC for the 12 titles we've won, and they decided that no other school would be recognized...pretty cool!

The bros that will be in Omaha are Rick Raczka (Most Outstanding Orthpaedic Surgeon/Catcher), Jack Harrington (Most Outstanding Dentist/Water Park Developer/Pitcher), Frank Alfano (CWS All-Star Second Baseman 1970 & 71) and myself...Walt Failor, are you coming, buddy??? (and, I can't even imagine your resume!).

The other bros that were on that team, but not able to make it to Omaha, are Al Rossi (friend of Peaches O'Day), Brent Strom (5-year MLB career) and Steve Busby (only MLB pitcher to throw a no-hitter his first and second year in the bigs....a great trivia question). Hope that I didn't miss anybody.
