The Virginia baseball team captured the hearts of Hoo fans with its run to the National Championship in June. The Cavaliers overcame adversity all season long to capture the first title in program history.
That moment topped last week’s Sabre poll (see below). It also inspired this week’s poll question, which Slider asked on the EDGE message board initially. The voting is open through next Wednesday at midnight and the results will be recapped in next week’s article.
