First of all, Kosmo is shocked that he's still here writing this blog from his cave in northern Oakland County. The world hasn't ended yet!
Second, the K-Man was reading up on how Michigan State won its first Big Ten baseball title since 1979.
Congrats to the Spartans, and it looks like the future will be even brighter thanks to Oakland County.
MSU is not only the best in the Big Ten, but it has raided the county in terms of recruiting.
Orchard Lake St. Mary's senior catcher Blaise Salter, Birmingham Brother Rice senior outfielder/catcher Jimmy Pickens, Birmingham Groves senior pitcher Mike Mestdagh and Clarkston senior Chase Toth all have a chance to be named to the all-state Dream Team at the end of the year, and all have signed to play in college at MSU.
One of MSU's best players, pitcher Andrew Waszak, is a graduate of Rochester Adams.
He's only a sophomore.
Given all that, the Big 10 champions will have a big Oakland County flavor for years to come.
