Oregon State University Baseball:: Building a Legacy (Sports)

I still get goose bumps when thinking about what OSU accomplished. Back to back, with so many players different on that 2nd team. A wet weather school winning it all, TWICE! Forcing the U of O to take up baseball, probably costing OSU another appearance or two in the CWS as the players get divided. This book can recapture some of the feeling, but left me wanting more. The stories written by local and regional newspapers around that time were more captivating. The writing is fine, but the stories more vanilla.I'm grateful for having the opportunity to see in person the 2013 CWS. That is the best way to feel the magic.

Highly Recommended for any OSU Beavers Fan, a must definitely for the OSU Beavers Baseball Fan...well written book by Corvallis Gazette-Times Sports writer Cliff Kirkpatrick...good historical perspective with detail insights from OSU Baseball Coach Pat Casey and former Beaver Star and current Major League Baseball star, Darwin Barney. Easy to read and perfect timing to get excited for the 2013 season.

I would have liked a bit more inning by inning action described in some of the Beavers key games during their run. I guess I was looking for a bit of "Claire Bee/Chip Hilton" writing style. Loved the story though

I'm a diehard Beaver Believer and this is a great book for a fan.

I learned a lot about the early days of O State baseball. Easy and fast to read. More pictures would have been nice.

This book is a must read. It is awesome. From learning about players that won the national championships to how Pat Casey runs the program and everything in between. 5 stars. I loved it. Go Beavers.

This was a gift for my son who lives out of state and is also a big OSU fan. Of course, I read the book before I sent it and thoroughly enjoyed it.

A very good recap on the highest level of any team in Oregon has ever achieved. A must read for all those who bleed orange.
