CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The 2017 College World Series, which began over the weekend, fills viewers with excitement every year. Eight teams play in a double-elimination tournament to decide the national champion.
This year, the eight participants are: No. 1 Oregon State, No. 3 Florida, No. 4 LSU, No. 6 TCU, No. 7 Louisville and unseeded teams Cal State Fullerton, Florida State, and Texas A&M.
One odd aspect of the CWS is that many of the players participating were just drafted by Major League Baseball teams last week. They have not signed yet, but an MLB team holds their rights.
