1956 College World Series
Minnesota over Arizona at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Minnesota won the 1956 College World Series, beating Arizona in the final, under Dick Siebert. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The first of 3 for Minnesota. The next came in 1960. Arizona lost this one and won its own in 1976.
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.
