StonyBrook University

More than forty years ago, their Math Department thought best to transfer me through the looking glass to the Lewis Carroll School of Logic. For doing so, I have exponential gratitude
but today, STONYBROOK UNIVERSITY IS GOING TO THE COLLEGE WORLD SERIES.



New York baseball has given the world Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays, Joe Dimaggio, Duke Snider, Mickey Mantle, Derek Jeter, the Miracle Mets, Yogi Berra, and more than thirty World Series champions. Given the magnificent history of its professional teams, it is only natural for New Yorkers to ask:
"Do we really have college baseball in this town?"

The answer today is emphatically YES!
I learned about it from ESPN Sportscenter this morning but the blockquote below–with acronyms unacronymed–is from the linked Newsday article:

Stonybrook University, which has gone 6-2 with two one-run losses in the regional and super regional rounds, is the first New York City-area team to reach the College World Series since St. John's in 1980 and the first team from the Northeast since 1986.

Go Seawolves!
