If you don’t love college baseball, it’s okay. It’s a little under the radar. But it’s really good, if you know where to look (hint: Pac 10, Big West, SEC).

And then there are stories like this, about Wake Forest head baseball coach Tom Walter (courtesy of collegebaseballinsider.com):

Walter began telling his team what only a very few knew: he was about to make the ultimate sacrifice in trying to pick up the biggest save of his career. The coach, who guided his University of New Orleans program through the destruction of Hurricane Katrina, stood before the Demon Deacons and shared his decision to donate a kidney to freshman outfielder Kevin Jordan.

“Most of the players had no idea what to say,” Stadler said. “We were shocked.”

Added Demon Deacons assistant coach Dennis Healy: “They were pretty overwhelmed. I don’t think they even knew it was on the docket…A lot of guys just went up and put their arms around Coach.”
