Today, we've come to the SWAC. I don't think I need to go on too much about this conference. It is one of the most important and historically-rich conferences in the nation, especially outside the Power 5. Despite some recent economic struggles at some of these schools, I'm also happy to report they have all kept their baseball teams. So let's not beat around all this and let's get to the stadiums. Well, actually, I do have one note here to add before we go on. I unfortunately could not find the SWAC record book anywhere online. That means that I didn't really have any way of differentiating regular season and tournament championships, so there is only one line here for championships. And, unfortunately, I couldn't really tell you for sure whether it represents a season title or a tournament one. It wasn't for a lack of trying!
