While I was out of town in Vegas for a week, the Big 12 baseball tournament was happening. Honestly, I like to unplug when I go on vacation, not paying too much attention to the goings on in the world, and unwind and relax. When I got back and plugged in, I noticed some controversy and frustration on social media regarding the K-State baseball team not making the NCAA baseball tournament.
