How to get on the College World Series Jumbotron

Fred Astaire birthplace

Above is incontrovertible video evidence shot by AKSARBENT last Friday of how badly you can dance and still get on the stadium screen at TD Ameritrade Park.
     If the boys pictured, who seem to be local (judging by the T-Shirts), are any indication, then Omaha has literally gone downhill.
     It was, after all, much higher up on 10th Street than TD Ameritrade Park where baby Fred Austerlitz (Astaire) was born on May 10th, 1899, a few blocks from the future Rosenblatt stadium that will be demolished next month, and more than a century away from the regrettable devolution of Omahans' ability to dance well enough in public to avoid public ridicule in misanthropic blogs like the one you're now reading.

Below: even lead-footed Bruce Springsteen proves he can boogie down (albeit with some help) better than the unnecessarily encouraged chuckleheads above.



(Top video was shot during the final elimination game between South Carolina and Arkansas at the 2012 CWS in Omaha, Friday, 6/22/12. The Razorbacks lost to the Gamecocks, 3-2, finishing third in the series. And a glummer group you never saw board a team bus when it was over.)
