He was really good, but he had unlimited schollies. Fred Lynn didn't start for USC until his Junior year, 2 years later he was rookie of the year and MVP in the American league. Talked to him in 1998 the night LSU lost to USC for the 2nd time, very nice man, in an Italian rest.

Throughout his USC career, he accepted a nominal salary of $1 per year, as his trucking business supplied a substantial income.

I love Dedeaux's MLB career...
MLB debut
September 28, 1935, for the Brooklyn Dodgers
Last MLB appearance
September 29, 1935, for the Brooklyn Dodgers
He did have an RBI though

That was before the regulations on scholarships... USC was able to "buy" all of the best players in the nation- the guys riding a bench for four years were still given full rides to a premium private California school.
Back then almost no school cared enough to spend money on baseball... Except USC. I'm not knocking what he did, but there are a number of coaches over the years (like Skip) that could've amassed similar accomplishments had they been given the same financial support.

Have to agree. Skip put LSU on the baseball map and is a god in these parts but Dedeaux's numbers are insane and IMO, unchallenged.
