Hopes are High

There must be millions of thoughts running through the CAL baseball players minds. To know that your program may be saved will make their college years less stressful. These players deserve more years for their determination and will power. When all odds are stacked up against you, some people wouldn't try. But all of the odds were against these players and they didn't back down. These players were told that this would be the last years of their baseball careers at CAL. Usually someone would cry and blame others but the team did the oppostie. They held their heads high and wanted to change something that seemed unchangable; getting their team back.

Five teams were cut from Cal's slate back in September, but rugby, lacrosse and women's gymnastics were reinstated on Feb. 11 after $12 million to $13 million was collectively raised. Although the campus had earlier set a $25 million mark for the restoration of all five sports, it said that baseball and men's gymnastics would not return for the 2011-12 season because they did not meet their respective targets of $10 million and $4 million for long-term sustainability.

These kids learned at a young age you win some and you lose some, but no matter what you give it your all. These kids wanted their future to be through CAL baseball and that is what they are trying to do. One step closer for these young men to get their team back for years to come. They will make history for CAL baseball for years to come.
