Question

Fresno State Bulldogs winning the College World Series. Best underdog story ever?

(i was born and raised in fresno)

by Northwest on Jul 29, 2008 6:17 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

The best underdog story ever is CLEARLY the 2002 Angels.

A bunch of nobodies (national media wise) vs the best hitter ever.
