Steve Pivovar (September 9, 1952 – August 10, 2016), known as Piv Pivovar, was an American sports journalist for the Omaha World-Herald for over 45 years. The NCAA paid tribute to Pivovar on June 20 during what would have been the 500th consecutive CWS game staffed by Pivovar. “PIV,” as he was known, was etched behind home plate and along the foul lines. A press box seat was left empty in his honor throughout the tournament.
