College baseball and emotions

Last night, the 8th and 9th innings of TCU/FSU game in Omaha were about as exciting and emotional as baseball gets. The two innings, and the ESPN coverage was right up there with watching justbaseball on TV cheering his son in that terrific 2008 game with Miami.

The contrast between the TCU/FSU dugouts and players on the grand slam was poignant. Joy for TCU, the utter anguish for the FSU pitcher and players.
Turned around, in the bottom of the 8th, the anguish for that same FSU player making the 3rd out with the bases loaded. Again, I thought ESPN illustrated the emotions of success and disappointment in baseball in very real ways.
When they get to Omaha, it is easy and fun to watch and celebrate the winners.
Seeing the anguish on the faces of the losing team is touching and is one of those reminders that Baseball truly is life.
