Harvard Baseball

Ummm...which particular College World Series? The Crimson have made the NCAA tournament 14 times, most recently in 2005....but I'm not sure they have ever made it to Omaha.

Having said that, I'm sure it is a solid Ivy League program.

Bzap - talk to NHslinger. He has a contact in the Harvard athletics dept that you may find helpful.

Bzap,

I don't believe Harvard has been to the College Baseball World Series in the past 50 years!

64 teams are in the world series

I suppose there were 12 MLB teams in the world series?

Wait...it doesn't???



SIKE>>>>

TKD,

Only 8 college teams make the College World Series tournament held in Omaha, Nebraska for about the last 25-30 years or more.

Harvard has not been one of the teams except in your dreams.

So you want to be a tough guy, no reason to be rude,


Based on your analogy, 8 is incorrect it would be only 2.

64 for teams enter the series only 2 compete for the championship.

In MLB this would be equivalent of the playoff rounds..


290 D1 teams 64 are in the series either way you cut it Harvard has been in it several times

And like lotto you have to be in it to win it..

TKD -- with no rude intent, the College World Series is an event that leads to a championship -- like the NCAA baseball Final Four. There are indeed numerous teams that qualify for the NCAA tournament, leading to the College World Series in Omaha. Harvard has qualified for the tournament several times....but has never advanced to the final 8. Calling the entire tournament the CWS is equivalent to calling March Madness the Final Four.

TKD...Come here with an attitude and you'll get attitude.

"64 teams are in the series either way you cut it..." That is NONSENSE.

Being selected for the field of 64 is not equivalent to being in the College World Series.

If you are heading to Harvard, you should know that they have never been to the College World Series...which is what I said long ago.

Panther Dad is correct.

I did not come here with an attitude. You are rude and obnoxious

“Harvard has not been one of the teams except in your dreams”

No reason for that. Yea it is a tournament and only 64 teams enter but only 2 play for the championship.

Since only 16 teams have won the championship in the last 58 years. I think getting to the tournament is a great achievement, and should not go unrecognized.
So if you want to call it a tournament until the final series then fine but only 2 win.

Ok...They played in 1974...That was 31 years ago...Sorry...I thought it was 50 or so years ago.

Certain 10 years before most of college seniors today were even born!!!!!

Getting to the field of 64 teams is no big thing considering many sub-.500 teams make it because they win their own tournament.

Nowadays...That is how the Ivy League gets into the field of 64...all you have to do is win a 3 game series played between the 2 teams in each of the Ivy divisions and you're in.

The Men's College Baseball World Series is the final round of the NCAA Men's College Baseball Tournament.

(just as in basketball, the final 4 ain't the regional tournaments). Only those teams in that final round (traditionally played in Omaha, Neb) would be considered to have played in the World Series, with the last 2 teams standing playing in the championship game(s) (of the world series).

No you have to have the best record in your IVY division " Gehrig Division , Rolfe Division “ which allows you to play the 3 game series then your in

How many schools receive at large bids for the schools that do not even win there conference that should stop.

Win the conference then go to the NCAA regional.

Say what you want about Harvard at least they get their shot, and you never no what can happen from there.

Gees, I would hope that it would be UNDERSTOOD that the teams with the best record in each of the divisions would play for the right to become the conference champion and get the automatic berth into the NCAA field of 64.

I think we've beaten this subject to death.
