Bruins Nation, a UCLA Bruins community

In a homage to the great Chuck Norris, the Diamondback's blog AZ Snake Pit has done the same to our Trevor Bauer. E.g. Trevor Bauer once killed two birds with one pitch. The batter still struck out looking. E.g. Trevor Bauer did not go to U.C.L.A. to study, Trevor Bauer went to UCLA so the engineering program could study him.

UCLA is the only school with winners in top football, men's basketball, baseball awards! Thanks to Trevor Bauer, Gary Beban, Marques Johnson, and Ed O'Bannon. Also, "UCLA is the only school to have produced a No. 1 draft selection in the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA), Major League Soccer (MLS) and Major League Baseball (MLB, June Draft)."

Trevor Bauer was named one of three finalists for this year's Golden Spikes Award; the fan voting portion of the selection ends this afternoon at 2pm PDT. Vote for Trevor!
