Ron Polk's biggest contribution is making baseball a money-making sport.

    As with the NCAA basketball Tourney- in the 1970's baseball started adding conference tourney's and an expanded NCAA Tourney. Those didnt exist for our previous coaches to help us advance nationally. Most young people dont understand that
    Polk was 6-12 in CWS, I think, he was good but not great in the big games.

    He definitely had his share of disappointments- regionals in 84 and 89 and then the CWS in 85 among others.

    Of course he won some big games too.
