What do they play for

Well, here it is Monday afternoon, and by 1 PM tomorrow the journey begins. I am heading to Hoover to pick up the credentials, check out the teams practices, ad generally get in the mood for some baseball. To the left, you see one of the things these 8 teams are playing for: the SEC Baseball Tournament. Oh yeah...they are also playing for that automatic bid to the Men's College World Series coming up in less than 30 days.


If you have never been to an SEC Tournament, I suggest you do so. Yeah, you have all sorts of folks from all the schools. And I do mean ALLLL the schools, even the ones that are not there. It is a vacation of sorts. For some, who do not have a team in the tourney and do not have a chance to follow anyone in the postseason, this is it. That last college baseball fix for them until sometime in 2011.

So make sure you get out to Regions Park for some of the games. You won't regret it.

And if you can not get to Hoover from where you are, be sure to follow all the actions with Mark Etheridge at SEBaseball.com

More to come.....
