1977 College World Series
Arizona State over South Carolina at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. Arizona State won the 1977 College World Series, beating South Carolina in the final, under Jim Brock. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The 4th of 5 for Arizona State. Their previous title was 8 years earlier, in 1969. South Carolina lost this one and won its own in 2010.
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.
