Underdogs to WONDERDOGS: Fresno State's Road to Omaha and the College World Series Championship (wonderdogsbook.com)




The Rise to The Top
Underdogs to Wonderdogs Poem


Odes to the Wonderdogs


The baseball season started just like any other season

With young guys too eager to play the game,

Please their parents, friends, and coaches

Through hard work and determination, an unlikely group of players

Ended up making a team. Their strengths overcame their weaknesses

Yet, the struggles to be the World Series Champions threatened them all

How to be the top dogs without the team's best pitcher?

How to advance to the College World Series Championships

Without winning the Western Athletic Conference Tournament?

The best underdog story needed a writer and the organized drive

Of dedicated players such as Tommy Mendonca, Steve Detwiler

"It's mind over matter. It's just a little pain...

The Pain is temporary. Pride is forever," said Detwiler

In the end, we, Americans, like underdog stories

We like the coming from behind to win it all

Congratulations to the Fresno State Bulldogs

For making a University, two sister cities and a Nation proud!

It was the preview of one of the greatest underdog stories

That this nation would know in just one year

Barack Obama made history by becoming the 44th President of the U.S.A

Indeed, the seeds of victory and success are spread in small communities

Such as Fresno and Clovis, CA. You can see them at Fresno State every season too!
