When they do move it, you better believe that LSU will make Lamar put a digital board out there so that they can constantly change it with advertising. Just wait.

Excellent question!
That was brought up last night. Coach M said that only two baseball numbers have been officially 'retired'....Ben McDonald's and Skip Bertman's.

Wally Pontiff's and the other one whose name escapes me now are not really retired. They were put up on the outfield fence but were not retired, although no one has worn either of those numbers since they were put up on the fence in the old Box.

He thinks that Ben's and Skip's numbers will be officially recognized somewhere in the new Box as being 'retired' but he does not think the other two will be. He said the athletic department is currently developing guidelines for retiring numbers, including the number of an athlete who passes away while he or she is an active member of a team, like Wally.

Thanks for asking the question. I forgot to put that in the original post so I've edited it to include your question.
