The weirdest team in the College World Series

Their dugout is nowhere you'd want to visit. Their mascot is a betta fish who travels with them in a tupperware container and has his own twitter hashtag, #fearthefish. They're the South Carolina Gamecocks, and they're quite eccentric.

9,500 CWS fans pay their respects to condemned Rosenblatt Stadium

The World-Herald reports that more than 9,500 people have made a pilgrimage in the last five days to the former site of the College World Series, dearly beloved Rosenblatt stadium, which will be demolished next month.
     Every College World Series game from 1950-2010 was played there, in a friendly residential neighborhood before the venue moved uptown to glitzy TD Ameritrade Park.
     The W-H said fans carted home dirt in every kind of receptacle possible. Even Mr. Bull Durham/Field of Dreams himself couldn't save the 'Blatt.
