Welcome to GenX Classic Sports, the podcast where we revisit the unforgettable athletes, teams, and moments that shaped our sports memories growing up. 

In 1989, college baseball belonged to the powerhouses — Texas, Miami, Florida State, and LSU. Then a gritty team from Kansas shocked the sport. 

This week on GenX Classic Sports, we relive the unforgettable championship run of the Wichita State University Shockers — a team that survived elimination games, battled through injuries, and rode the fearless arm of Greg Brummett all the way to a national title in Omaha. 

From the magic of old Rosenblatt Stadium to the hard-nosed leadership of coach Gene Stephenson, this is a classic GenX sports story about toughness, pressure, and one of the greatest underdog runs in college baseball history. ⚾🎙️
