Under the Old Normal, may it rest in peace, the first pitch of the College World Series in Omaha would be Saturday.
In a Reasonable Normal, the Louisville Cardinal Nine would be there, co-favorites, with, say, the SEC anschluss of Florida and Ole Miss, who started the abruptly cancelled season with a sizzle, and, oh, Vandy, which has driven the Cards to the Douglas County line a couple of times.
In a Perfect Normal, this would be the year.
Cards Win! Cards Win!
