Stanford baseball must have a brobdingnagian handicap during the playoffs relative to other teams who are already finished with school. Remembering my experience during finals, I can't imagine how they do it, even with taking a light academic quarter in the Spring and all the support they probably receive as athletes. And how do dual sport guys like Zach Hofpauir manage the academics? They can't go light in both Fall and Spring and stay on track to graduate, can they? Wasn't Toby taking 20+ credits during his final football season so that he could graduate and have time to prepare for the draft? These guys really are remarkable.
