Baseball Champions
The Great West Conference sponsored its inaugural baseball championship tournament in 2010, and has held the event in different cities during its first three years of existence. The league has also experimented with formats, using pool play in 2010, but a traditional double elimination bracket in 2011 and 2012. Utah Valley has claimed every regular season and tournament championship in the short history of the conference. As in other sports, the Great West does not have an automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The league also has yet to earn an at-large invitation.
| Season | Regular Season Winners | Tournament Champions |
|---|---|---|
| 2010 | Utah Valley | Utah Valley |
| 2011 | Utah Valley | Utah Valley |

Famous quotes containing the words baseball and/or champions:
“Compared to football, baseball is almost an Oriental game, minimizing individual stardom, requiring a wide range of aggressive and defensive skills, and filled with long periods of inaction and irresolution. It has no time limitations. Football, on the other hand, has immediate goals, resolution on every single play, and a lot of violence—itself a highlight. It has clearly distinguishable hierarchies: heroes and drones.”
—Jerry Mander, U.S. advertising executive, author. Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, ch. 15, Morrow (1978)
“While the Governor, and the Mayor, and countless officers of the Commonwealth are at large, the champions of liberty are imprisoned.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
