I’ll be the first to tell you that I hadn’t ever heard of Delaware baseball, and it wasn’t much of a stretch to assume they weren’t rich in baseball tradition (my research proves this correct). Then again, I wouldn’t know much about their football team either, were it not for Joe Flacco. The joke is on me though, because the Blue Hens can play a little bit of baseball.
You could make a compelling argument that it’s been a tale of three seasons for Delaware. Struggling initially, hitting their stride midway through the season, and then finishing on a torrid pace en route to a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
