	@ Ben, There are a couple of errors. I typed in Arizona St., but it didn't give me 1967 and 1969. I typed in Cal State Fullerton, but it did not give me 1984. Good quiz though, I had 52 out of 62, should have been 55 if it gave me thoe three that I mentioned.

	I'm pretty sure I entered Miami and Cal both, which are the most logical guesses for both of those schools, and did not get credit. Those misses aside, I got all but the two least guessed.

	JoeyV:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:25 GMT	8 points
	yeah entering Miami should be acceptable...we shouldnt have to enter the (FL). Also, i didnt get the 1984 Cal St Fullerton for some reason. @matthew, i believe you have to type in California for Cal

	eggseronius:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:28 GMT	-1 points
	University of Miami does not work either. Did not think of adding a "(FL)"

	Kicking222:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:31 GMT	29 points
	I know little-to-nothing about college baseball, but this was made much easier because it gives you the runner-up. I only knew (for sure) three or four schools, but then I just guessed all the runners-up... and then, when they worked, I guessed the teams that lost to them, and so on. Between that and guessing every state (and somehow thinking to guess Pepperdine), I got 59 (and one of the three I missed was last year's champ).

	DonnyB:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:36 GMT	4 points
	There's no reason to have to add (FL) to Miami. It's not as if Miami (OH) is also on the list.

	fuzzy510:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:36 GMT	2 points
	"Miami" still doesn't give you 2001.

	Wes_Mantooth:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:41 GMT	2 points
	If you want to differentiate between the two Miamis, "University of Miami" should be accepted for Miami(FL) because Miami(OH) is known as "Miami University."

	Blaise:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:44 GMT	-1 points
	All I knew was that California and Arizona are really good at baseball since half of my favorite players are from those states, and I just worked out the rest from there with the runner ups.

	Morbo:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:49 GMT	-1 points
	Cool! One of my quiz suggestions made it! Thank you, Sporcle!

	Morbo:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 17:49 GMT	0 points
	Oh, and this gets easier when you realize that four of the eight teams in this year's CWS have combined for 20 championships. It'll be 21 in a couple of days.

Comment below threshold: show it

	i don't think that you should automatically get the runner-ups for getting the winner. it makes it too easy b/c most of the runner-ups have won at some point.

	Elmo:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 18:43 GMT	5 points
	This quiz is way too easy since you don't have to put the answers in order and the runner ups are given, which gives you a lot more free answers. I only knew the two Oregon St. ones before taking this, but I still got 53 by guessing random colleges and using the runner ups.

	bobc:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 18:50 GMT	0 points
	Cool quiz! It would also be neat to list some college players with their teams. Maybe the CWS MVP (if they aren't too obscure), or the year, college, and MLB team they broke in with, since there would be too many possible answers for some teams.

	bsd987:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 18:54 GMT	-3 points
	All 62 first try. Got Pepperdine after spending two minutes nearly stumped.

	bsd987:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 18:58 GMT	0 points
	Oh, and Rice represent!!!!

	RandallPinkston:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 19:11 GMT	0 points
	An interesting topic and quiz, but I agree with everyone that listing the runners-up makes it easier than it should be. My approach to this one was similar to the Oscar host quiz--guess a couple of obvious ones, which then lead to more and more answers (co-hosts or runners-up) until almost the entire quiz is filled in.

	y2jdilemma:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 19:29 GMT	1 point
	Neat quiz. Missed 1952 and, believe it or not, last year. I was surprised Florida State never won.

	bmo1616:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 19:31 GMT	-1 points
	Great quiz, I'd love to see how Northern teams would do if they were able to play/practice 12 months a year, Southern teams have such an advantage.

	Morbo:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 19:41 GMT	-1 points
	@Bryant: They'd do better. But you don't hear Southern schools complaining how they can't win in ice hockey. It's just the way it is. Some geographic areas will have a natural competitive advantage in certain sports. It's not unjust or unfair, it's just life.

	TIMTEBOW15:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:21 GMT	0 points
	i only got 43 because i missed usc and thats 11 right there

	bsd987:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 20:37 GMT	-3 points
	@Ernest - being that only one southern school competes in ice hockey, they won't complain. @Bryant - you are 100 percent wrong. The NCAA regulates when teams can practice, and no schools are practicing between October and the middle of January at all under NCAA rules.

	Got 56/62...would have been four more, but neither Fullerton nor UC Fullerton worked...I guess I should have kept trying instead of just assuming that meant they weren't on the list.

	Ecliptica:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 22:03 GMT	1 point
	Sad to see that only 18% have guessed/knew my school :(

	run2win:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 22:30 GMT	2 points
	ecliptica when i saw your comment after taking this, i had to go make sure tulane wasnt on the list. Forgot where you are going to grad school.

	Fixial:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 22:56 GMT	0 points
	Omaha rules.

	Rebecca:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 23:03 GMT	2 points
	This was fun. Got all but Holy Cross. In light of what time it is, I would just like to send out a big Hook 'Em! This is going to be an awesome series.

	Haunter:	Jun 22nd, 2009 at 23:58 GMT	1 point
	wow i forgot the arizonas for some reason. woulda got 53. but no, i struck out.

	The runner ups make this trivial - agree with kicking222... take em out

	Czar_Vexler:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 00:42 GMT	2 points
	Not to sound like a broken record, but the runner ups need to go. Someone starting with USC and then just guessing losing teams would get a 40, and anyone starting with Minnesota, Cal State Fullerton, or Pepperdine would get a 43, 44, or 45 respectively.

	Finally Mizzou makes Sporkle THANK YOU

	Kris:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 01:34 GMT	0 points
	@ Czar vexler: That is exactly what I did, I just started guessing football schools. I got USC and just started typing in the runner ups from there!

	ArtVandaley:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 02:01 GMT	0 points
	WOW, last years winner is one of the least guessed. Biggest upset in major D1 sports maybe ever.

	bmo1616:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:17 GMT	-1 points
	@bsd987, no, you just don't know how baseball players develop. Most of the players that play for the Southern schools are from the south, meaning their whole lives, they've gotten to play year round, unlike Northerners who can only practice from March-October. And whoever said the hockey excuse, since when is hockey played outdoors (not counting the Winter Classic)??

	diamondsight:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:50 GMT	0 points
	Go Fullerton! Hopefully next year, my alma mater will be back in the championship series.

	ClintT13:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 04:58 GMT	1 point
	Got all but Oregon State, Minnesota and Holy Cross on the first try. Missing Oregon State was bad since they won the past two.

	Dabears2334:	Jun 23rd, 2009 at 05:21 GMT	0 points
	55/62
