What you really want to know about the College World Series- The Hotties

Let me start by saying, I have always loved baseball. I’m not exactly sure at what age I realized that looking at the boys playing could be even more entertaining than the game itself, but I’m sure glad I did. Like myself, Modern Magnolias love America’s Past Time. No matter which team we are pulling for, we can all agree on one thing: baseball pants make everything better. So, because I love y’all, I took on the grueling task (jk it was fun) of browsing the rosters of the eight lucky teams heading to the Mecca of college baseball– the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, to find some mancandy for y’all. Not surprisingly, they all play for teams from the South. Raise your hand if you’re surprised…

So, with some help from @RulesforBelles, I’ve comprised a list of some of my favorite faces heading to Omaha. (P.S. I’ve provided their twitter handles so y’all can get even creepier than I did!)

Skye Bolt #20, UNC

• Seventeen Magazine featured him in their "Hottest Guys of College Sports" Agreed Seventeen, agreed.
• As a child model he was featured in an Ingles commercial with Greg Maddux.
• Has arguably the best name in college baseball. Good for his mama for thinking that far ahead!
• You can catch (pun intended) this Georgia boy playing outfield for the Tarheels.
• Did I mention he's only a freshman?!?! Hey Skye, how do you feel about dating an older woman? I'm asking for a friend. (No I'm not.)

Find him on Twitter: @SkyeBolt20

Chris Cotton #58, LSU

• Senior pitcher from Shrevport, Louisiana (Not too far from Bon Temps.... True Blood!)
• His birthday is November 21, 1990 which makes him a grandpa as far as college baseball is concerned.
• Drafted in the 13th round to Houston
• Watches Game of Thrones

And he's reasonably entertaining on Twitter: @59percentcotton

Russell Reynolds #45, LSU

• Another Freshman
• Another LSU pitcher
• Google told me he's out for the season because of an issue with his arm... (Lookout for him in the dugout?!)
• Like everyone on the planet, loves a Southern girl. I mean, obvi.
• Also, apparently a Michael Jackson fan. We're on board with this.
