Three months in: JJ Wetherholt remains a consistent hitter for Cardinals
June 26, 2026
Friday marks three months since former WVU Baseball standout JJ Wetherholt made his MLB debut with the St. Louis Cardinals. Wetherholt’s first two months were phenomenal for a rookie campaign, but month three has been a bit slower in terms of production. Through month three, Wetherholt added three homers, nine RBI and 29 hits, bringing his total in those categories to 12 homers, 34 RBI and 75 hits....
November 14, 1898. That is how far back this limited but fierce rivalry goes. WVU and Virginia take over Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on September 19. The neutral site game marks the first meeting between the programs since the 2002 Continental Tire Bowl, also held in the same stadium.
During West Virginia University's unforgettable run to Omaha during the Men's College World Series, John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" seemed to be everywhere. After the Mountaineers defeated Kentucky in the Morgantown Regional, ESPN2 did something television rarely allows anymore - it simply let the moment breathe. As the broadcast lingered on Kendrick Family Ballpark, fans, players and coaches locked arms and sang every word in unison. The cameras rolled. The crowd swayed. And a national audience witnessed something Mountaineer fans and alumni have known for more than 50 years: "Country Roads" is more than a song. It's a tradition. It's a celebration. It's part of West Virginia's identity.
