The Louisville Cardinals have attained that goal five times in the last 13 seasons, including four appearances in the last seven. Since first appearing at the CWS in 2007 at Rosenblatt Stadium, Omaha has served as an integral part of the baseball culture at Louisville and that will continue into the 2021 season.
