It was bad enough that the announcers talked through most of it on tv.


and here's a big

to those folks at the game who couldn't stop talking long enough to watch the video ! WTF do you have to say that's so important it can't wait 2 minutes!?

and putting it on youtube or sharing it with people would just be the worst thing in the world imo.

I don't have the official tribute video but this is the one that ESPN did in 2003 during the CWS

Only Smoke could hear the crowd chanting Wally and think "Is there a fight?"

Well, why doesn't your friend tell the Pontiff family about the interest many of us on TD have in seeing this wonderful tribute. Not everyone lives within driving distance to make a Wally Classic game on a Tuesday night in New Orleans?

Do you think the Pontiff's would actually object to that? Hey, if they don't want it super public, they can restrict the viewing to LSU/Wally fans that get the private link from here on TD.

I can't imagine the Pontiff family saying NO.

Here's a link of stuff from that day, it's not the edited video that Merlin's unidentified friend put together with my video, but it'll take you back for sure.

Well, I'll never know since I don't live within range of attending the Wally Classic and seeing it played on the giant scoreboard screen for everyone in attendance.


Same.


The sad thing is, I dont know much about Wally Pontiff since I didnt really pay attention to LSU sports much growing up until I decided to attend LSU. And now not being able to see videos like this just kinda keeps me in the dark about who he was.

And I figure over time, it won't help other people remember his legend either.

I bet playing in on TD every year a week or so before the classic would drum up more interest in the actual game and what it represents.
