\n

I know we’ve got the NBA Finals<\/a> and Stanley Cup going on right now. I get it. The Knicks are a pretty big deal at the moment, and rightfully so.<\/p>\n

But I’m here to open everyone’s eyes to the biggest story in America that nobody is talking about.<\/p>\n

The Troy Trojans, and catcher Jabe Boroff.<\/p>\n

Drop everything you’re doing and start paying attention to what’s going on out in Alabama<\/a>, because it’s more electric than anything you’re going to see on the court or the ice.<\/p>\n

IS THIS COLLEGE BASEBALL TANK SHOT REALLY THAT IMPRESSIVE?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Boroff, dubbed “Jabe Ruth” by his teammates, has the Trojans on the brink of their first-ever trip to Omaha. That’s right. In a world dominated by NIL and the transfer portal, the TROY TROJANS are one win away from the College World Series.<\/p>\n

A week that began with Nick Saban sounding the alarm <\/a>on the state of college athletics ended with a team that barely made the NCAA tournament hosting a Super Regional for the first time, shattering attendance records, and going viral for all the right reasons.<\/p>\n

Troy pummeled Little Rock, 12-2, Friday in Game 1 of the Super Regional. Boroff hit two home runs, including an eighth-inning grand slam into the patriotic bounce house in left field.<\/p>\n

And if it wasn’t a reminder of what college sports should <\/i>look like, I don’t know what is:<\/p>\n

I’ve been banging the table for college baseball for years now. I’ve BEGGED the world to show it more respect. ESPN has the TV deal, and barely shows a game until May. I’ve long said it’s a wasted opportunity.<\/p>\n

And the first 10 days of this tournament have only added fuel to that fire.<\/p>\n

We’ve had major upsets, which you don’t get anymore in football or basketball. We’ve had iconic moments, like all of Morgantown singing “Country Roads” earlier<\/a> this week when the Mountaineers walked it off in the regional championship.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, we’ve had teams like Troy not only win meaningful games, but HOST meaningful games. The Trojans squeaked into the tournament, upset the Florida Gators<\/a> (twice), and now they’re one win away from Omaha.<\/p>\n

Which brings me to Boroff, who has morphed into “Jabe Ruth” over the past few weeks thanks to an absolutely electric tournament.<\/p>\n

The junior catcher was hitting .114 with one home run on May 9. Less than a month later, he’s hitting .270 with 11 home runs. That’s a real stat. Read it again.<\/p>\n

He’s hit six bombs in this tournament alone, with a whopping 18 RBIs in six games. In the program’s first Super Regional Friday, he hit two homers and plated half the team’s runs.<\/p>\n

COLLEGE BASEBALL PLAYER SUFFERS GRUESOME LEG INJURY DURING CELEBRATORY HOME RUN TROT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Do you understand how impressive that is? Again, it’s why college baseball is the best<\/a>. It’s everything we loved about college sports before things started to spiral a few years ago.<\/p>\n

We loved the upsets and the “moments.” We loved the lesser-known players who came from a community college (Boroff spent the first two years at Enterprise State) and simply got a shot. We loved the atmosphere and the feeling that this was “our school” too.<\/p>\n

College baseball has proven over the first week of this tournament that it’s all still possible. It still exists. We saw it in West Virginia on Monday, and at a place called Riddle-Pace Field <\/i>on Friday.<\/p>\n

Nobody had heard of that place until this week. Nobody had heard of “Jabe Ruth” until this week. Did anyone here even know Troy had a baseball team until this week? Probably not.<\/p>\n

We do now, and that’s why college baseball is the best.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
