I think Skip needs a statue in front of the new Box. it should have him standing atop a rock and laughing, with a joyous grin on his face. Inscribed on the rock below should be all of our favorite Skip quotes about Starkville:

"Starkville is an old Indian word for 'trailer park'."

"A tornado went through Starkville and did $1 million in improvements"

i still remember the presser to intro Les, and Les forgot to thank his wife. Skip gets up makes reference that its a mistake you only make once and says "Sandy Bertman ladies and gentlemen!"

He was just a great motivator , not a good game day coach.

Get over your Dale Brown bullshite. Skip called every pitch in the games he managed. He was amazing considering he micromanaged the entirety of the game.

Boxtards could use a golden statue to kiss the feet of before entering, so I support this.

It was the bats and steroids, baw.

I could also go with;

He should have one more championship with Ben McDonald, but he called a horrible pitch against Paul Carey.

He got lucky against Miami

Lucky that Stanford changed pitchers


Just kidding, and I gave you the first up vote on your post

They do have plans to do that eventually.
Things like that are not cheap.
Plus Skip has not really pushed for it, he was never big on naming the field after him, he did not want to take away from the Alex Box legacy.

Skip approved Toonces as the logo when he was AD. That alone negates his right to a statue.
