1976 College World Series
Arizona over Eastern Michigan at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Arizona won the 1976 College World Series, beating Eastern Michigan in the final, under Jerry Kindall. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The first of 4 for Arizona. The next came in 1980. Eastern Michigan 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.
