Underdogs to Wonderdogs: Fresno State's Road to Omaha and the College World Hardcover – Illustrated, 1 April 2009

A great book describing the 2008 Fresno State Baseball team winning the College World Series. Other than Fresno State fans, no one thought FSU would even make the playoffs. This team lost their star pitcher just before the RIDE began; the third baseman had four dislocated fingers on his throwing (r) hand; the right fielder completely tore ligaments in his left thumb; what else could go wrong?Mike Batesole used super glue and duct tape to hold this team together. Even when FSU actually made it to Omaha, an opposing coach told another coach to not worry about Fresno State: " They'll be on the plane going home by Wednesday..." Fresno State was the "second step-child twice removed" in the eyes of College Baseball.After defeating top ranked teams and being in multiple elimination games, FSU defeated Georgia twice to win it all. My wife and I watched all the games on TV in Fresno, and I clearly remember going beserk with the 19-10 win over Georgia to set up the final game: FSU 6-Georgia 1.End of Story!

Very nice book has lots of heart warming and funny stories. Lots of photos and really has a way of keeping you in the story!!

Amazing story.

The book was great and took a very detailed look at the team and their trip to Omaha. Such a great book!
