I can't watch baseball games live, but I when Army football games used to be over by halftime, I would go for walks and the stadium was always a good spot to hangout. Its a nice stadium

Pretty cool. Has something like this every happened before? It would be pretty cool to see them go against each other for the league basketball championship someday.

Its named after Abner Doubleday (USMA class of 182) - who they now say didn't invent baseball in Cooperstown after all.

Army West Point Captures Second Straight Patriot League Baseball Title

I played against Army & Navy in college. Always fun going to their place. I also thought they had an unfair athletic advantage in that they didn't have the same distractions (read: party life) that we faced in college... ;-)

I saw an article a few years ago about a pitcher from West Point that we faced who died in combat. Very impressive "kid" obviously, but I remember him being just so much better than anyone else we faced. The article stated that he had offers for all the big schools, maybe got drafted too, but had his heart set on West Point.

I admired the cadets and midshipmen more every day (as well as all those that join the military).

I tracked down the article. I had some facts a little distorted, but the gist was there.
