1957 College World Series
California over Penn State at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. California won the 1957 College World Series, beating Penn State in the final, under George Wolfman. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The 2nd for California, and still the last one. Their previous title was 10 years earlier, in 1947. Penn State has never won one. Reaching the final is as close as that program has come.
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.
