Eight teams came to Omaha. 1 is on the way home. Georgia Tech was eliminated by Cal State Fullerton yesterday in probably the most exciting game we??ve seen thus far. Down to their last out and last strike, the Titans staged a 3 run rally to defeat the Yellow Jackets. But, enough about the games. You can read that in the paper. Let??s talk about the characters. There are plenty of them??

I??ve met the only organ player to be ejected from a game by an umpire. I ate ribs with some fans dressed in candy striped overalls. They were with a group of people wearing sombreros, which of course, immediately drew my attention. Also, I met an usher who was on duty during the famous CWS streaking incident.

But maybe the most intriguing thing I??ve witnessed was in the Omaha World Herald. It was an ad for a local bar touting its 13th Annual Testicle Festival. I tore out the ad because I know most of you won??t believe me. Be afraid. Very afraid.

Carry on, Citizens!
