LSU first baseman Eddy Furniss culminated a sterling four-year career by receiving the 1998 Dick Howser Trophy as college baseball’s most outstanding player. Furniss finished his career as the SEC’s all-time leader in hits (349), home runs (80), RBI (309), doubles, (87) and total bases (689). In NCAA annals, Furniss finished his career No. 3 all-time in total bases, No. 4 in home runs and doubles, and No. 5 in RBI.

I would say Todd Walker, Joey Belle, & Chad Ogea, but I also think ranking all-time LSU baseball players is essentially an impossible task.

Here are pre-Bertman players that are often talked about...

Alvin Dark

Joe Adcock

Mike Miley

Other pre-Bertman notables were Mel Didier (Beau's grandfather), Joe & Pat Moock (related to Chris & Gregg from the '91 team), Wally McMakin, Roy Winston, etc.

How about Joe Adcock?


He was a good one.

Did I read in another thread that you actually played at Centenary?

I vote Eddy Furniss.

But you can't go wrong saying Todd Walker either.
