I went to some with my buddies because we loved baseball. Maybe 100 people there. Your student id got you in, no charge. I remember a very good hitting first baseman, anybody remember who that was? Went on to be a doctor I think.
It was baseball in its purest form. You could hear the manager talking to the pitcher out on the mound, every glove pop, the ball whizzing by. Quiet, green, bucolic.

Funniest part of the game was when Big Red was in the stands. When the opposing manager would go out to the mound to talk to his pitcher, Big Red would do a marching cadence for every step the manager took, "Hup, hup, hup!". It annoyed the hell outta the managers, and they'd stutter their steps sometime, just to try and throw off old Big Red. He was sooo loud, because there were few people in the stands. We loved it!!

Lamabe recruited a guy I coached with... Showed up at his house, gave him $10.00 and sent him to the store to get a six pack of Dixie so his Dad and Lamabe could talk, lol...my friend signed and played one year before transferring. Said Lamabe's jersey would be stained with tobacco juice from spitting on himself, lol . dude was like Buttermaker from Bad News Bears!!!
My friend has won a 5-A State
Championship as a Coach and is now at a smaller school as AD.

I came down with a bad case of bucolic when I was kid. Doctor gave me a strong prescription to clear it up.
I attended several games during that era as an LSU student. Less than 100 in the stands is accurate.
I remember lying on my side on the bench seating watching the game as though I was watching TV at home on the sofa.

Dr. John Thomas played at LSU and I think later mentored Skip Bertman through his hip surgeries. Good guy.
