The college baseball world is saddened by the passing of Steve Pivovar, one of the most knowledgeable experts on the College World Series.

Piv was always a pleasant sight each year at the college baseball family reunion at the College World Series. It was enjoyable to see and interact with Piv in the press box of both Rosenblatt Stadium and TD Ameritrade Park.
