1952 College World Series
Holy Cross over Missouri at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Holy Cross won the 1952 College World Series, beating Missouri in the final, under Jack Barry. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. Holy Cross has won the College World Series once, and this is it. Missouri lost this one and won its own in 1954.
What the tournament looked like that year. Eight teams, one pure double elimination bracket. The classic Rosenblatt format. That format ran from 1950 through 1987.
The ballpark. Sixty-one tournaments. The reason Omaha means what it means.
