The 2010 Men's College World Series will be the last to be played in Omaha's Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium. To commemorate this special year, the NCAA is asking baseball fans to help select the CWS Legends Team. The Legends Team will represent those student-athletes who had the best CWS performances in the 60 years the event has been played at Rosenblatt Stadium. The team will have 27 members: two student-athletes per fielding position, four pitchers, two designated hitters, three head coaches and two "utility players". The utility players will be determined after fan voting and represent those student-athletes deserving recognition who may not have been selected by fans, media and coaches at a particular position.

From the list of names found at http://www.ncaa.com/cwslegends/index.html, please cast your vote for the best players best coaches based solely on their performance during the NCAA Men's College World Series. Fans will only be able to submit a vote once.

Representatives from the National Baseball Writers Association and all NCAA Division I head baseball coaches will be encouraged to vote as well. The NCAA will take all voting into consideration prior to making its announcement of the final CWS Legends Team roster.

The CWS Legends Team members will be invited to attend the final College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium. Those in attendance will be formally honored during the CWS Opening Ceremonies in Rosenblatt Stadium on Friday, June 18.

Tickets are go on sale April 3. For more information got to www.ncaa.com/cws.
