1952 College World Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1952 College World Series was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, NE from June 13 to June 17. The sixth tournament's champion was Holy Cross, coached by Jack Barry. The Most Outstanding Player was Jim O'Neill of Holy Cross.
The tournament consisted of no preliminary round of play as teams were selected directly into the College World Series. From 1947-1949 and from 1954 to the present, teams competed in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament preliminary rounds to earn the right to play in the College World Series.
