This is the second year that Ping Baseball has selected the All-Ping! college teams. “Selecting the 2008 All Ping!Baseball Teams is one of the most difficult and time consuming tasks possible. With nearly 300 teams and approximately 30 players per ball club, that's nearly 9,000 players to choose from for about 100 All Ping! positions. Thus, you're narrowing down the list to the top 1% of college players. With that being said, the student-athletes on this list can really play some serious hardball.”
