Max Mercy, Jr. here again folks . . .

Well, it's College World Series time, gang. Ole Max has wheeled his way to Tempe for the Fall Classic lid lifter. That's right, folks, Ole Max will be on hand to capture every pitch, every foul ball, every hot dog bite of the battle between East champion Ivy and West titlist Arizona State.

Some of you might wonder how in creation Ole Max and his RV (aka The Maxi-Pad) can get from Tempe to Bristol in time to cover all the CWS. Well, it can't! So Ole Max will wing his way from the best of the West to the beasts of the East. Even though Ole Max has his pilot's license, he'll leave those duties to some of those commercial fly boys. That will allow Max more time to work on bringing you the best coverage possible (along with chattin' up some of those gorgeous waitress in the sky types).

If you remember my preseason predictions (most of you probably still have it plastered up on your beer refrigerator), Ole Max said it would be USC over Ivy in the first-ever Series. Well, it's not that I was wrong; it's that the Men of Troy got outpaced by Bobby Winkles' Sun Devils of Arizona State. Yes, the Men of Troy fell into the Tempe of Doom.

As for the CWS itself, Arizona State looks to be a lock on paper. The Sun Devils have it all--pitching, power, speed, defense, even those long-legged co-ed bat girls! Furthermore, ASU has had time to rest its players and get them ready for the Series. Everything points toward an ASU romp . . . My daddy, Max Mercy Sr. told me years ago that anytime something in life looks too good to be true, most likely it is. That's why I can't go with ASU. The Devils appear to have everything in their favor. But, mark Max's words, Ivy has those things that stats and scouts can't quite measure. So Ole Max is picking Bob Seddon's boys will win the CWS. That's right, folks, Ivy in six.

This is Max Mercy, Jr. signing off from the Series . . .
