Out of left field

With the College World Series down to two teams -- the same two teams as last season -- we took some time to meet the teams on a more personal level. Eight players from Vanderbilt and Virginia, along with both coaches, answered our questions about their taste in music, television and more.

The first game starts at 8 p.m. on Monday. Until then, get to know the participants below.

The questions:

• What is your walk-up song, or what would it be?
• What is your favorite sport outside of baseball?
• If a movie were made about this team, which actor would you want to play you?
• What is your favorite place in Omaha (excluding TD Ameritrade Park)?
• If coach were a professor at your school, what would he teach?
• What is your can't-miss TV show?
