First Pitch Banquet

Never been but I'm sure it would be a much deserved treat

I've gone the last four years, the only downside to me is that it's always on a Sunday night. All of the players are seated in a row and you can take a poster with this years schedule and have each player sign. Starting last year they no longer allowed you to bring baseballs/jerseys etc to have the players sign. Dinner is alright. They usually have someone talk for awhile, in years past it's been Kyle Peterson from ESPN and last year was Jim Hawthorne. There is also a silent auction on some cool things at the back of the banquet room.

I've been for the past several years. Definitely worth going to if she's a big LSU baseball fan. A little 'rah-rah' like but usually some really good speeches by guests (Kyle Peterson, Paul Byrd, Ben McDonald, Eddie Furniss). I guess Paul Byrd can be permanently scratched.

I enjoy the player speeches more than anything. One player from each class takes to the podium and tends to roast the other players in his class.
