The 1951 College World Series was played at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, NE from June 13 to June 17. The fifth tournament's champion was the Oklahoma, coached by Jack Baer. The Most Outstanding Player was Sidney Hatfield of Tennessee.
The tournament consisted of no preliminary round of play as teams were selected directly into the College World Series. From 1947-1949 and from 1954 to the present, teams competed in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament preliminary rounds to earn the right to play in the College World Series.

We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
