Gamecocks Baseball 2012


By Ronald Joseph Kule

The upstart, 2012 Gamecocks nearly achieved a historic, three-peat national championship. Mostly freshmen, junior college transfers and a few veterans when the season began, their head coach Ray Tanner paced them through an amazing crucible of fire all the way to the Finals of the College World Series before surrendering the title to Arizona's Wildcats in a thriller in Omaha.
     Carolina Baseball 2012 "Poetic Justice" is the story of how Carolina's boys became a respected team of young men in the crucible of one difficult season. They exceeded the loftiest expectations of just about anyone in college baseball.

     The season saw the swan song of one of the Gamecocks' best pitchers in their history, Michael Roth.  The description of his final, regular-season home game alone is worth the ticket price of this thrilling eBook! 

     “At the end of the year, or the end of the job, if the cumulative effort is good enough, you get a chance to go to the postseason, and that is where it all starts.” -- (former) Gamecocks' head baseball coach, Ray Tanner.
