Question for fans who remember the 1997 regional against USA

does anyone remember an incident of the South Alabama right fielder having batteries thrown at him during the game. A guy who played for them is claiming that happened on another board and that Andu Sutley, the right fielder, came back in the dugout with a bleeding head and handful of AA batteries. I was at those games, and one would think if something like that happened play would have been stopped and it would have been publicized. i don't remember this at all and want to call BS

I'll call double that bullshite call. I've had season tickets since '96 and that would never be tolerated where we sit.
But it makes for good stories about how aweful the LSU fans treat people.
For reference, opposing teams parents have often been complimentary of LSU fans, as they can sit in any available seat and not get ushered out of seats. Arkansas parents mentioned this to us at the game there year.
I am sure there are alot players heckled, but I am pretty positive that throwing batteries would not be tolerated.

It would take a helluva arm to throw an AA battery from the bleachers to the rightfielder and if he happened to run close to the bleachers during an inning he wouldn't have been able to collect a "handful (sic) of batteries".And you can be sure that if this happened the USA coach would have made an issue of it and rightfully so.Plus I don't think Tiger fans would have watched this and not said or done something.I call complete BS on this.

I was at that game and don't recall anything of the sort. That said, I can't think of any reason why a player from the time would falsely claim it, and if a guy sitting next to me in the stands suddenly stood up and threw a battery I honestly might not have realized it.
Whatever happened, it's fun to trade barbs with the fielders and sometimes they get into it too, that's all good and part of the experience. But fans who cross the line from heckling to physical assault have no business being there.

My buddy played 1st for UH and said he was thrown some inappropriate words during a game. He said he loved playing LSU.
He said it was the funnest stadiun he ever played at.

I remember it rained the whole weekend and I believe we had to come out of the loser's bracket and beat them twice. There were a bunch of rain delays. I do not recall anything about this "battery" incident.
