Ryan McGee explores the history of the College World Series through this thoughtful and compelling portrait of the 2008 event, which takes place annually at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Nebraska. McGee talks to fans and participants to try to elucidate the lore of this special event, which he depicts as a return to a pure style of baseball, as it was played and enjoyed before multimillion-dollar contracts, free agency, and steroids forever tainted the spirit of the game. Serendipitously for McGee, the 2008 Series became one of the most memorable in history when the underdog Fresno State Bulldogs became the lowest-seeded team to win a national college championship in any sport. |
