Winning a Cy Young shouldn't get you a statue but being Paul Skenes at LSU should get you a statue

I think they’re the pinnacle for their respective sports coming out of LSU. But going off of how they did at LSU to being a professional, Skenes has had more success way quicker. Burrow can’t stay healthy so that’s an issue. (Yeah yeah he has a shitty OL. Skenes has the worst bullpen behind him and top 5 worst offense in MLB)

Also, it’s not Skenes fault they have 1 pitching award in NCAA BSB, but in football they have 5 quarterback awards. Paul won the Dick Howser which is the best pitcher. Hes started the all star game in each of his first 2 seasons, he won the Cy Young as a 23 year old with less than 2 years service. Burrow has 2 pro bowls in 6 seasons. Come back to me when Burrow can say he’s the best on the planet at his position.

We’re fortunate to have both men represent our university, but to act like Burrow dogwalks Skenes in the GOAT category is misinformed, disingenuous and short sighted.

Create a monument park around the box and honor some of LSU baseball’s greatest moments/figures. It would be kinda cool.

He deserves a statue along with the other two Cy Young winners from the Pirates. There is that long grassy area near the Clemente statue that would be a perfect location for Pittsburgh fans to enjoy.

In a few years, he could also have a plaque in Monument Park just behind the outfield fence in Yankee Stadium.
