Not that I can recall. I remember us scrimmaging a couple of international teams when Skip was coaching on the '96 Olympic team.

We used to play the Zephyrs every once in a while. I know it's not a "MLB" team, but most of the teams that play the colleges are made up of minor league guys.
Most recently in 2001 and 2002. We lost 5-2 and 8-3.

MLB teams used to play college teams regularly in exhibitions back in the early 1900s, but LSU didn't win.
LSU did beat a team of second-stringers in 1939 though. Harry Rabenhorst

I seem to remember that too. Unless we're both dreaming...

I think that geographic location works against LSU in making this happen. Schools like ASU (who are playing the D-Backs this week) and the Florida schools all have teams doing spring training right nearby. Easy ride over for a game. No coach is taking his team on a road trip for an exhibition mid season.
Be nice to see it happen though.

What national teams has LSU played? What were the scores? Would be interested in that.

I know Boston College plays the Boston Red Sox minor league players every year in Florida. I think in early march.

Do the college teams still use their metal bats?

I want to say one of them was Australia. I'm trying in vain to find information about it, though.

Lost to the White Sox, don't know the year but it was a long time ago, Comiskey might have owned them

UGA plays the Braves every year or at least they used to.

Pffft... LSU won the '95 World Series.

Yes... Same year as Warren Morris home run... I was at the game and have a signed ball with all of the future major leaguers on it... Including Troy Glaus and Kris Benson among others.
Edit: My bad that was the Olympic team... Morris was on the team though.
