With a field that included future major leaguers Roger Clemens, Calvin Schiraldi, Barry Larkin, Barry Bonds, and David Magadan, the 1983 Men's College World Series was the most star-studded in history. The Texas Longhorns, favored to win it all, were powered by the pitching of Clemens and Schiraldi. Standing in their way was the Alabama Crimson Tide, a freewheeling, free-swinging band of overachievers led by Magadan, college baseball's best hitter. Could the Tide take Texas? For some of baseball's biggest names, this was the time of their lives.
