I'd held off on the baseball series because I didn't know if I would be making more D3 basketball posts. Unfortunately, Wabash couldn't come up with enough stops in the second half to hold on against UW-Whitewater, so it was a quick exit this year. Thanks to covid years, though, none of Wabash's players were classified as seniors, so this team could still be awfully dangerous next year, too. Anyway, back to baseball. Today we've gotten to the Colonial Athletic Association. This is a conference with some remarkably stable administration. The conference was founded back in 1979, and it has only had two commissioners. Tom Yeager lead the conference from its founding until July of 2016, and Joe D'Antonio has held the reigns ever since. That's pretty impressive stuff, even if the CAA isn't maybe the most high-profile conference. The conference is home to thirteen athletic programs, but two of those (Drexel and Hampton) do not play varsity baseball. Hampton's team, as best as I can tell, was abandoned right was it was starting to win 1972. Drexel dropped the sport much more recently in 2003, citing budget problems. Campbell will be joining the conference next season and bringing their baseball team with them, which really seems like it will help with scheduling. As of right now, though, here are the baseball stadiums of the CAA.
