In ESPN preseason polls the Kansas City Royals were picked by only one of their writers to make it to the World Series and the Giants were not picked by any of the dozen or more writers. If a poll was taken by writers in Maine prior to the 2014 high school baseball season I suspect the Caribou Vikings would not be on anyone’s list of potential state baseball finalists.
