Huntington Park, the new ballpark under construction in Columbus's Arena District and future home of the Clippers was just announced as the host for the 2009 Big Ten Baseball tournament.
Games begin May 20th and it will be the first time the baseball tournament has been held at neutral facility since 1994.
While we don't follow Buckeye baseball as well as we probably should (though these guys do a great job of it), it's nice to see the event coming to Columbus.
Now if we could just get a Final Four at Nationwide Arena...

Who got this game for Columbus? Surely it can't be the village idiot too stupid to put in a bid to host the Army/Navy game when Philly's contract expires.
Do you really think Columbus would have had a shot at Army/Navy? Both of those campuses are > 500 miles away.
Never hurts to put in a bid, though...
If I were an expert, I'd say the MLB's ability to draft straight from high school is the reason for severe lack of interest in college baseball.
Never could figure out why such a stink was made about the NBA doing it, other than obvious monetary issues.
Other than Nick Swisher, who are some other notable Buckeyes to make a splash in the major leagues?
True.
not many from my quick glance...

This is awesome. Can't wait to watch some great baseball this spring. Hopefully the Buckeyes will represent in their home city.
