A video of Tony Vitello's first home series as the head coach of the Tennessee Vols in 2018 went viral on Tuesday after UT baseball claimed its first ever national championship on Monday night.
Vitello was hired by Tennessee in 2017 and he coached his first game with the program in February of 2018.
And the crowd looked a little different back in 2018 at Lindsey Nelson Stadium than it has over the last few years.

Compare that to scene from Tennessee's win against Evansville in the Super Regional.
FINAL: Tennessee beats Evansville, 12-1, in a do-or-die game three to punch its third ticket to the Men’s College World Series in four seasons.

This is what Vitello envisioned when he took over as Tennessee's head coach in 2017. And he's executed that vision perfectly.
