Underdgos to Wonderdogs: The Wonderdogs Book
On November 12, 2008, Fresno State's Baseball team went to Washington DC to meet President Bush on the South lawn of the White House. This is the same team that was nominated for Sports Illustrated's Sportsmen of the Year honor. Indeed, the bulldogs went from underdogs to being the wonderdogs or top dogs. Now there is a book about the experience and struggles.
Titled, "Underdogs to Wonderdogs," and written by Paul Loeffler, the 166-page book tells about the biggest story in Fresno State history. It is one of the most incredible underdog stories of all time. Indeed, Fresno State had dropped 12 of its first 20 games. It lost its best pitcher just before the postseason and needed to win the Western Athletic Conference tournament to get into the NCAA Tournament. Besides, the Bulldogs were the lowest-seeded team to win a national college title.
While rubbing shoulders with the president, the Bulldogs gave Mr. Bush, a baseball fan, some season's mementos such as an autographed baseball, a Bulldogs baseball cap and a jersey with the No. 1 and Bush's name on the back. And that was not the first trip the team had been on. Since they won the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., in June. So far, we can count the many honors the team received. The Bulldogs received an invitation to the state capitol and the ESPY Awards. The cities of Fresno and Clovis, CA also honored the baseball team. They are the world champs.
"Underdogs to Wonderdogs" details the Bulldogs' struggles from their season-opening loss to the UC-Davis to the dogpile celebration at Rosenblatt Stadium after defeating Georgia in the championship. Order the book at www.wonderdogsbook.com. It costs $34.95 or $29.95. Get your copy today by calling 559-233-6633. It is a great gift idea.
