2000 College World Series
LSU over Stanford at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.
What happened. LSU won the 2000 College World Series, beating Stanford in the final, under Skip Bertman. It was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha.
Where it sits. The 5th of 8 for LSU. Their second in 3 years, so this was a program at the top of the sport rather than a program having a season. Stanford had already won 2 of them, most recently in 1988, and has not won one since.
What the tournament looked like that year. The field expands to 64. Super regionals are introduced, best-of-three from the first year. The final is still one game. That format ran from 1999 through 2002.
The ballpark. Sixty-one tournaments. The reason Omaha means what it means.
