Diamond Dogs win it all

In case you missed the news last night (or the full-color full-page front page spread in this morning's Fresno Bee) The Fresno State baseball team are NCAA Champions.

I'd provide links for you to read, but if you're on the Web the commentary shouldn't be hard to find. It. Is. Everywhere (still no links, sorry).

My commentary: I'm not a sports fan really. And baseball specifically, has never been of much interest to me. Too slow. Not enough action. But this whole ordeal really pulled me in. I was hooked. First, it was just listening to the play-by-play while driving around in my car. But last night I actually sat down and watched the game on ESPN. Not all of it mind you, I had things to do, but I did watch. And that's big, HUGE, for me.

Am I an fan now? Not entirely. But not entirely not either.

Either way, congrats to the team and to Fresno State.
