Summer of '83: Texas vs. Tide

TBA TBA

"Baseball might be America's most romanticized sport, and everyone who's ever played has talked about the game of their life," said Fernandez. "Summer of '83 is a version of that conversation — told by some of the greatest college players ever assembled, in some cases just months away from Major League superstardom."With a field that included future major leaguers Roger Clemens, Calvin Schiraldi, Barry Larkin, Barry Bonds and David Magadan, the 1983 College World Series was one for the ages. The Texas Longhorns, favored to win it all, were powered by the pitching of Clemens and Schiraldi. Standing in their way was the Alabama Crimson Tide, a freewheeling, free-swinging band of overachievers led by Magadan, college baseball's best hitter. Could the Tide take Texas?  For some of baseball's biggest names, this was the time of their lives.
