If you know me, then you know my love for the Menβs College World Series, especially its history. I love this piece for the 75th anniversary of the CWS in Omaha. Thanks to our entire ESPN crew for penning this love letter with me. #MCWS

Yellow Flags up in Destin. Life Guard quickly getting to someone struggling and being pulled out in a rip current. Early season reminder to try and swim parallel to the shore if you are ever caught in one. @spann
