Ah, the Florida Gators. Known for their ferocious chomp, sunshine smiles, and a relentless pursuit of victory.

Close Calls, But No Cigars (For a While)
The Gators have been a force in college baseball for decades. They've sashayed onto the CWS scene a whopping 13 times (that's right, 13!), making them a familiar face in Omaha, Nebraska (where the CWS is held). But for a long stretch, that championship title remained elusive, like a particularly stubborn gator refusing to leave your pool float. There were close calls, sure – three trips to the finals – but victory seemed to slip through their grasp.
The Glorious Year of 2017: The Gators Take a Bite Out of the Championship
Then, in the magical year of 2017, something incredible happened. The Gators, fueled by a team that could hit like Babe Ruth and pitch like Nolan Ryan in his prime, stormed through the CWS like a pack of hungry gators at a buffet line. They battled, they clawed, they probably did a Gator chomp or two for good measure, and ultimately emerged victorious! They swept their SEC rivals, LSU, in the finals, taking home their first-ever CWS championship.
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
Champagne flowed, confetti rained down, and dreams of a Gator dynasty were born (or at least that's what the merch guys were hoping for).
So, How Many CWS Titles Do the Gators Have?

Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
