It is Alec. Alex (the pronunciation) is incorrect.
My dad knew the man. It's Alex.

I'm baffled by the fact that it isn't Skip Bertman Stadium. I know box was a war hero, make it the Alec box field at skip Bertman stadium
LSU has a relatively new policy to only posthumously name buildings after people. If I remember correctly, a building on campus had to be renamed because the guy it was named for turned out to be a pederast.
8 year olds, dude.

State law, but the do make exceptions.
§267. Naming public buildings, etc., in honor of a living person prohibited; penalty
A. Except as authorized or provided by law, no public building, public bridge, public park, public fish or game preserve, or public wildlife refuge owned by the state or by any political subdivision of the state or by any institution receiving its support in whole or in part from the state shall be named in honor of any living person.
B. The officer, officers, board, or commission responsible for naming any public building, public bridge, public park, public fish or game preserve, or public wildlife refuge named in violation of this Section in honor of any person who is still living shall change the name and the officer, officers, board, or commission in charge of such building, bridge, park, preserve, or refuge shall destroy, deface, or remove all plaques, signs, or other evidence of the name of such person appearing on the premises thereof.
C. Any person may commence a suit in the district court for the parish in which the building, bridge, park, preserve, or refuge is located for mandamus, injunctive, or declaratory relief to require compliance with the provisions of this Section, together with reasonable attorney fees and costs.
Acts 2004, No. 577, §1.

In the ceremony after the final game in the old Box, Skip explained very clearly that it was Alec, but spelled Alex.

You honestly feel a street that the stadium isn't even on anymore is a good enough memorial to the guy who won 5 titles for LSU in baseball? Think about that. FIVE frickIN COLLEGE WORLD SERIES TITLEs in 10 YEARS
So naming the street after him. Naming him AD. Naming him AD Emeritus. Allowing him to conduct the hiring when he retired and negotiate a sweet side deal for himself. Giving him carte blanche even after his reign as AD/ADE isn't enough? I mean the guy was an absolute giant, but if he isn't being appreciated, I hope to be not appreciated in that way.

Skip has been known to butcher names and places.
