Buying tickets outside the gate with mawmaw and pawpaw sometime in the mid 90s as a little bitty dude. I remember we got grandstand tickets. Can't remember the game.

Skip. He was a legend in South Florida as the coach at Miami Beach High School. I had just gotten my second degree from LSU and we hired him. As a South Floridian who played, I immediately thought “Santa! I know him!”. I knew it was over for the rest of the league.

On TV warren Morris’ walk off. In person Brad Cresse hitting the ball over the lights in right field when they were playing SLU in Hammond.

Chad Ogea, Lyle, Paul Byrd.... the whole 91 team! Rios, Johnny T., Rick Greene! Had tickets that season! It was the beginning of the dynasty!

I'm sure I watched games before but my earliest memory is LSU losing to Tulane in the super regionals. I did not like Tulane for a long time after that.

My little league coach was a former Tiger baseball player. In the 80s he would take us to the games and get us into the locker rooms. Before Skip, the old box was just the grandstands basically. I remember they kept extra dirt under the grandstand behind a green wooden fence. Being 10, we would play in the dirt as much as we would watch the game.
I also remember that the you had to give foul balls back. Imagine the shoestring budget they must’ve had.

My first memory of live action, being at the game, was my FR year, ‘86. It was a mid-week game early in the season that I attended w a hs friend that was a SO
The opponent had a runner on 2nd w nobody out and the batter hit a fairly deep ball to RF. While the ball was in the air, my friend said “Watch this”, slapping my arm.
RF caught the ball and threw a line drive in the air to 3rd to catch the runner tagging.
It was Joey Belle in RF. I later became friends w Terry.

My dad drove to LSU you for a doubleheader with state 89 maybe? Ben pitched and signed my glove. After that, seeing LSU in pinstripes before there game on Friday night in the dome.

The 1989 regional against A&M when we beat them twice. I can remember Bertman pinch hitting that kid from Chalmette who had barely played that year. I remember the train whistles over the radio, and I remember that kid delivering the way Bertman’s pinch hitters always seemed to.

1971 at the Old Box. Lots of good-looking but chubby coeds at the ballpark back then.

This was my first memory as well in the mid-1980s. I was in the grandstands for the double header. But I remember both Bertman and Polk agreed to let the overflow crowd sit in the foul territory on the field down the baselines. I wish there was a picture of this somewhere. We will never see or experience that again.
I was there that day. It was amazing! I hope people who don’t remember or didn’t know about this realize what happened. They set up chairs on the playing field just outside the foul lines. No netting in front of them. My jaw dropped and I could not believe my eyes. Can you imagine that happening today?

LSU v. NSU at NSU in April 1991. LSU won but I was hooked on LSU baseball. I remember Mouton on that team and he could sure hit the ball.

First coherent one was my stepdad and i going to see usl play lsu at cajun field (moore) and seeing ben mcdonald pitch. Midweek game. I was probably a freshman or sophomore in high school, in Lafayette, and McDonald was already a big deal
