I remember the equipment manager brought me an outfielder's glove. And I said, 'No, man, you've got me confused with someone else. I'm a second baseman.' And he said, 'Not any more.'

Thanks for the link. It's always great to hear what former players are up to. It's funny, but Turtle Thomas recruited like Bear Bryant did in the old days. He may have had a scholarship limit, but no limit to the number of players on the roster. With the help of TOPS, along with the status of the program, he was able to get a ton of kids to come to LSU. Kids in Louisiana wanted to play at LSU so bad that they would walk on at LSU and turn down partial scholarship offers from schools like ULL and ULM. PM is getting us back to that status, but he's limited to the 35 man roster limit, with only 30 on financial aid. Next year the limit drops to only 27 on financial aid.

Nice read, I met back up with Ray when the team got together for the First Pitch banquet, great guy, still really funny and having a great time with the NASCAR stuff.
He's not a big guy, and he got up for that catch, like you all said, it's amazing he came down with it.
