Today, @Jaboowins has been trying to start the biggest USA chant possible around Seattle 🇺🇸

He just convinced the entire crowd at the @Mariners game to join in

The Proclaimers, “500 miles” belted out by Scottish football fans at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.

If you mix American Baseball with the Tartan Army and The Proclaimers, this is what you get. Surreal but absolutely glorious.

That dude that just stole home! Armani Guzman...
That's the same kid who hit .053 his freshman year and was a role player. A Swiss Army knife for his club.

He always had the speed tool. Freshman year they used him mainly as a pinch runner. 1 for 19 at the dish. Most guys would have transferred or quit. He went to a summer league, made adjustments, only hit .248, but came back more prepared.

2025, back on the bench again. Hadn't started in 30 days. Coach noticed two pinch-hit singles in a blowout loss and put him back in the lineup.

He didn't try to do too much, he just contributed. Trust was being built.

About a year ago in the regionals, he hit a walk-off sacrifice fly. Then 4-for-5 with the go-ahead RBI in the 8th. The 2025 Regional MVP batted 9th.

His coach said it best.

"His mentality has been so spot on. You want to talk about a confident guy that's not arrogant. He is in such a strong place competing right now that he knows he'll have success." Coach Sabins, 2025

He wasn't confident because things were going well. Things were going well because he stayed confident!

By 2026 he's breaking the all-time stolen base record at WVU, delivering walk-off hits, and helping send West Virginia to Omaha for the first time in program history.

As a former D1 coach and 7th rounder, I love this story because it's real. The work wins. The best players fail the most, they just refuse to let it stop them.

In a world that wants everything now, let's play the long game.

Belief comes before ability. Always has. Let's let the next wave of athletes embrace this mentality, stay consistent, and stay persistent.

I went down a rabbit hole on Guzman because I saw it wasn't always easy and smooth sailing for him, as that's how most athletes on TV appear. Adversity will always show up. It's how we keep that belief and keep improving. Kudos to Guzman and WVU, fun to follow as a baseball fan.

I pulled much of this information from WVU sports, domainpost and 247sports.

Scoring the first run of the College World Series on the first straight steal of home in Omaha in over a quarter century to break your school's single-season stolen base record is a pretty loaded accomplishment.

Must watch for OKC fans. Maybe even moreso for non-OKC fans.

Couldn’t agree more. Such a great tradition and I love watching their teams sing it after victories every chance I get.

I know we get lost in the chaos of NIL and the transfer portal

But, listening to West Virginia’s Armani Guzman, a young man from New York, singing ‘Country Roads’ is so darn wholesome.

College Sports still deliver

"You can't be better in a loss than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was on Saturday night... can't play better, can't be a better example, can't lead better... Shai acted like a grown ass man before during and after."

@CaptnMorgan89 @OSUBaseball Sure. Blame the kid who got two ground balls with two outs that we couldn’t convert into the 3rd out…pesca did his job this game and it’s impressive considering he threw 73 pitches yesterday…
