re: What’s your first LSU baseball memory?

Mine was Warren Morris' homer in the 96 CWS.

I lived in Washington Parish so we were getting basically 0 games on TV outside of the actual CWS that was on CBS back then I think. We could listen to the games on the radio but listening to 3-4 baseball games a week on the radio just isn't as fun as going out to the field and drinking beer with your friends when you are in high school.

In 96 I had just finished my sophomore year and was going back home from being in BR for a few days maybe to visit LSU as a potential student and GBFTL member (I may have auditioned on this trip I don't remember exactly). I had just crossed over the railroad tracks in Amite, LA when Morris launched the HR to win it. I think that hit me hard because those days it really hit me that in a little over a 2 years I'd be an LSU student so it was kind of like "my school" just won the baseball national title. After that I couldn't get enough LSU baseball. Me and my dad went to probably 4-5 games in 97 and listened to a lot of games on the radio. A few short years later I'd be attending 25-30+ home games a year in person.
