re: Should LSU retire Todd Walker's number?

Kansas City Royals held a tryout at La Tech in '90 or '91. I was a tryout at it. So was Todd Walker. I knew nothing about him before then. He and one other guy came in wearing Bossier Phillies American Legion uniforms, and some of the other tryouts were saying "that's the guy they came to see". Todd was jacking the ball over the railroad tracks out back of right field so far that all of us tryouts competing against him started applauding him. He got MVP of the tryout, and the rest of us that just thought we were good at baseball came to a harsh realisation of another caliber of player than we'd personally seen to that point.

Was watching LSU the next season on TV and was like "THAT'S THAT GUY FROM THE TRYOUT!".
