I was a member of the "Two Out Rally" crew in the third base bleachers at 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.

By the late 90s My dad(our group) was the one parked close to the Entrance Gate on the right as you walked in to HR Village.
Around 2001 or so my dad began making and giving away snocones for everyone. He'd pack a big igloo of shaved ice and had 2-3 flavors.
Was some great times out there even if were weren't winning championships during that stretch.
