Is anybody else a big college baseball fan?
I grew up in LSU's Alex Box Stadium. I've probably been to 1,500 college baseball games in my 31 years. I remember when Mississippi State had Will Clark and Rapheal Palmero batting 4 and 5 in their line up. I rember the season Brandon Larson hit 45 home runs. I was 7 or 8 when we made the trip to College Station to watch Ben McDonald shut down the #1 Texas A&M Aggies to send LSU to Omaha yet again. I was in Rosenbladtt Stadium when Warren Morris hit the shot heard round the bayou and made Alex Cora cry. I was at the last game in the old Alex box when Buzzy Hydel hit the last home run in the historic park. I was in Omaha when the Chad Jones, the Dreadlocks of Doom came in and struck out Texas' 3, 4, and 5 hitters in game 3 of the Championship series, and saw Louis Coleman strike out the side in the 9th inning to seal LSU's 6th championship. I was in the new Box last Friday night when Aaron Nola and Austin Gray had an epic pither's duel where LSU's bats proved too much for the number 3 overall draft pick. Over the last 28 years LSU has become the team with the all time highest post season winning percentage, and I was there for most of those wins. I've seen more dogpiles and slapped hands with more teams in their victory laps than any fan deserves. I can't make the opening weekend games in Omaha this year, but I am goign to make the 20 hour drive if LSU makes it to the championship series. I have so many awesome memories of LSU's baseball dominance, and am already looking forward to purchasing my 2013 National Champions shirt. I know its a pretty regional thing, and college baseball isn't anywhere near as popular anywhere else as it is in Baton Rouge, but I thought there may be a few other people following the CWS. So anybody? Who you got? I'm picking LSU to run rough shod on everyone else and win the whole damn thing without taking a loss. |
