Pete Maravich

Todd Walker... and there are no close seconds to any of the three!


Here is a blurb written on Furniss:

Furniss was named SEC Player of the Year in 1996 and National Player of the Year two years later. His impressive college career culminated in his induction into the College Baseball Hall of Fame – one of just three former Tigers players to receive that honor. He helped LSU win back-to-back national championships in 1996 and 1997.


Furniss arrived in Baton Rouge shortly after Hall of Famer Todd Walker's college career ended and Furniss ultimately broke several of Walker's SEC records.
The first baseman left LSU as the conference's leader in hits (352), doubles (87), home runs (80), RBI (308), and total bases (689). Furniss ranked in the top five in NCAA history in latter four categories when he finished his college career.


That's legendary.

As somebody said earlier, we could debate baseball mvp all day long, but I'm sticking with Joey Belle. He came along before the juiced bats.

Todd Walker would be my second choice.

Hell my top 3 would be Belle, Walker, McDonald.

Todd broke records first and did it in just 3 years instead of 4 like Eddy.

That IS legendary

But Furniss was not nearly as good as half a dozen other players. That’s just a fact.
