"SEC Baseball History &amp; Tradition" is the second in a trilogy of published books by sports writer Chris Warner on the many colorful histories and traditions of each baseball program in the Southeastern Conference. In addition to chapters related to each of the SEC member institutions' baseball programs (profiles of great players and coaches, stadiums, etc.), the 224-page book contains a history of the game of baseball in America, as well as a comprehensive section on the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. In the CWS section, readers will find a thorough history of the event and Rosenblatt Stadium, as well as what to do while you are in Omaha for the annual College World Series. 
The book's foreword was written by former LSU Tiger second baseman, and CWS hero, Warren Morris, who is now a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates organization. 
This book is written and dedicated to the coaches, student-athletes and fans that have made SEC baseball the overwhelming success that it is today. The accomplishments and accolades of noteworthy players and coaches of each school are chronicled within, along with a brief history of the game of baseball in America, and how the college game developed during the late nineteenth century and beyond. Careful attention is paid to the great coaches and players that have brought recognition to each of the member institutions of the Southeastern Conference, and also, to the many changes that the college game has endured and grown from during the last 20 years. 
The relaxing, family atmosphere on a warm spring Sunday afternoon; the hearty smell of peanuts and popcorn; the wholesome taste of loaded hot dogs and hamburgers; the spontaneous pop of the bat; the subsequent roar of the crowd; and the seemingly endless, gut-wrenching situations that can and will inevitably leave any true SEC baseball fan frenzied or forlorn in his or her own elation or misery. Each of these cherished game aspects make Southeastern Conference Baseball the quintessential college baseball experience in the American South. 
On any given spring weekend in the Deep South, quality baseball is being played in front of increasingly larger crowds on the campuses of the SEC schools. College baseball's popularity among sporting enthusiasts has grown consistently in recent years, and like a kid with a well-oiled, brand new glove, the fans can't wait for the changing of the seasons, and for the first pitch to be thrown amidst the warmer days of spring, when the boys of summer again take the South's playing fields to bring home honor and pride to their beloved baseball homeland--the Southeastern Conference.

A HISTORY OF TAILGATING 
As early as college football’s first sanctioned game between Rutgers and Princeton in 1869, food and the pigskin went hand in hand. During the earliest contests it was customary for spectators of both teams to engage in a wild fish and game supper before the contest and then once again after it was over. 
This book is the ultimate gift for the serious SEC Fan!
