Eight years later, the 2010 national championship captured by South Carolina baseball still remains a fundamental part of the players on the team, including current MLB player Whit Merrifield.
Merrifield, a popular starter for the Kansas City Royals, will represent USC and that NCAA title this weekend as part of the league’s annual Players’ Weekend, when teams wear alternate uniforms with players’ nicknames on the back and customized cleats.
In an Instagram post, Merrifield showed off his spikes, one painted orange to represent his high school, Davie County, and other in garnet to show his Gamecocks pride.
