The 60th Annual Rollins College Baseball Week is scheduled for
March 1-8, 2008 at Alfond Stadium at Harper-Shepherd Field.
Baseball Week, the oldest regular season tournament in college
baseball, was originally created by legendary Rollins Head Coach
Joe Justice in 1948 as an opportunity for the Tars to face some
nationally prominent teams in early season competition. Baseball
Week has evolved into a much anticipated stop on the Florida tour
for many Division I schools.
BASEBALL WEEK HISTORY
The tournament has traditionally featured Division I programs
traveling south to Florida for some early season competition. For
the first time last year, Rollins invited Division II schools, as
Bentley, Merrimack, and New Haven participated. In 2008 the
schedule will return to its traditional format. Georgetown will be
making its fourth appearance in the tournament, and Saint Joseph's
will be making its second. Holy Cross makes its Baseball Week debut
in this year's tournament.
