    His cousin Peter can scale tall buildings and swing through a city without touching the ground.

    That would be a cool trick for an outfielder. Not sure how helpful it would be the mound.

    You are 100% correct—winning game 1 definitely puts you in the driver’s seat…. And I don’t really understand that the outfield plays as big as it does and we are lined up like we are.

    Usually the highest ranked team starts as the home team in the first game.

    I just put on the Official CWS Zhats ball cap I picked up before Game 4 in June of 2017. I wear it all the time, and still get asked about it.
    The final was 3-0, UF v. TCU. Hope this first game goes as good for the Gators.

    First game, one at a time. Virginia is at worst 3rd or 4th best team and really good.

    I've searched the web but can't find what Earl stands for. I know it's for the opposition pitcher, but what do the letters stand for? Earl Campbell?
    Earl of Briton? Enemy At Right Left? I have no clue.

    Oh I know. But game 1 is not necessary more important than game 2. Going 1-1 in the first two lands you in the same place. Winning the first 2 is critical, but yes 1 at a time.

    No one is answering you because the letters don't stand for anything. It's just the name Earl. When we have time (as in not now) we'll relay the story to you.
