you would be correct, if yor definition of the "best team" is the team that win's it all. So we can probably go back and forth all day. But I believe we both know the "best team" does not always win.

there is a difference between the two. as a coach it is easy to get a scouting report for the regionals because 1. you may have already played the team. 2. someone in your confernce probably has played them before to get a sufficient report.  in the world series its much tougher to get a depenable report because unless you have a friend who coached against them its tough to trust it. as a player its different because 1. its the world series! 2. your a little uneasy because of the unknown. how good are these guys? u don't know what to expect. the uneasiness of the unknown is the best why to put it.  so there are differences. plus, most teams in the world series will take advantage of your mistakes where as in the regionals its probably just the one seed, maybe the 2.

I couldn't disagree more. the deeper you goet into the post seasno, a natural urgency occurs unlike anything yeams have seen in the regular season. everything is hightend, and every aspect of the game means so much. Many players can't get it done. Coach Holowaty and other post season experienced coaches have an advantage many times because they try to recruit players who know and think they can play in intense situations. To say post season is similar to reg season is a very false statement.

Fortunatley, I have had the privledge to see every field in the nescac, lec, njac, most in ny and just many D1 fields in the northeast.  As far a strictly a college field (no minor league or independent team) ECSU has the best facility in the region.  St John's (used to be minor league) is a close rival but i enjoyed Eastern's more.  Actually, Eastern old field (almuni field) would probably still be the best in the  northeast.  NJAC fields are nice but the good one's are all pro parks. NESCAC fields have a nice setting but the surfaces are awful except for amherst on a good year. Wesleyns (sp) field is actually a football field/parking lot in the fall and plays like it too.  UMaine has a great facility but the surface is below avg.  Southern Maine has done a nice job but the field is very uneven, but they have done a nice job. Sorry to jump around alot, but thats what ive seen.

Hello folks, new to the site but would like to add some to the discussion.  What many people don't understand is when you get to the world series, not always does the best team win.  A lot of luck and near perfect execution on every side of the baseball is needed.  Eastern has a good team and could win, i'm rooting for them and hope luck and execution is on there side.
