re: Remembering the Old Box

Several members of the groups are still attending games but are no longer organized. I was a member of the "Two Out Rally" crew in the third base bleachers at the old Box and about ten members still go to games at the new Box. When the new Box was opened, banners were banned from the seating areas and the groups slowly started to become extinct. I miss those days when the fans were not so involved with their cell phones and really got into the games. I know, I'm old.

There was a regional during the early 90's where a couple of young men, maybe they were students, I'm not sure, but they had Bill Franques (PA announcer)to page a fictional person by the name of "Frank Staminga" Bill called the name over the PA several times while those in the grandstand around me laughed loudly while passing along what a "staminga" was. There were many good times in the old box.

I sat in that section as a kid, ole Leroy
. Y’all used to give the opposing bullpen catcher hell. I remember the smoke from the grill right behind our bleachers coming over with the wind. People in our section would bring collapsible ice chests and pour beers in the stands. The train tracks were RIGHT next to the stadium. LSU used to fly a flag for every SEC team in left field. Almost every bleacher section had a nickname and a banner hanging. The homerun counter in the gorilla ball days.
The Old Alex Box was a great ballpark. Intimate, charming, a little rough around the edges, and when the crowd was in it there was no better place to watch baseball.
