Baseball Partakes In College World Series Festivities

Check out photos of the team's first day in Omaha.

Welcome to the 2002 College World Series!

Welcome to Rosenblatt Stadium, home of the 2002 College World Series.

Members of the Irish baseball team, including centerfielder Steve Stanley and
relief pitcher Matt Laird, watch Stanford practice before taking the field
themselves at the 2002 NCAA College World Series.

The Irish coaching staff of Wally Widelski, Brian O'Connor, Paul Mainieri and
Dusty Lepper poses in front of the scoreboard at Rosenblatt Stadium just
before practice.

A group of Irish players shoot a promo for ESPN that will be aired during the
College World Series.

Notre Dame fans come in many sizes at the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

Junior leftfielder Brian Stavisky takes a few swings in the batting cage at
Thursday's one-hour practice session.

Pitcher Ryan Kalita gives a fan his signature at Thursday's autograph session.

Matt Laird and the Irish had a full day of activities on Thursday as they had
to meet with ESPN to shoot video promos to be aired during the week before
heading to practice. Once practice ended, all eight teams participated in a
two-hour autograph session. After showering, the Irish then returned to
Rosenblatt Stadium for a barbecue, followed by the opening ceremonies which
included a parade of teams, sky divers, fireworks and a a few words from
keynote speaker Tommy Lasorda.

Fans line the walkway as the Irish prepare to make their way on the field for
the Parade of Teams.

Senior Matt Buchmeier carried the Notre Dame flag and led his team on the
field during the Parade of Teams during the opening ceremonies.

Freshman pitcher Chris Niesel, who pitched the Irish to a 3-1 victory over
Florida State last Monday to earn a trip to the College Wolrd Series, is
interviewed during Thursday's opening ceremonies by ESPN's Dave Ryan.
