Look what I just found in a box from 1990-ish

I just found a box in storage that hasn't been opened since 1990-ish????
First: big props to mom for the epic 35mm disposable camera shot.
Second: who is that standing behind me towering over an already 8ft-tall Ben McDonald? I think they were playing St. John that night? There may be other clues in the box - it's full of other fun stuff.
I shagged two foul balls he pitched that night and he signed them both. There was one left in the box. I think I gave the other away in the months after? I'd completely forgotten about all of this until a few hours ago.
Pro tip: don't ever sign a baseball card with a ballpoint pen or a real baseball with a Sharpie. 15yo me didn't know these things 35 years ago - if I post more from the box you will feel my pain.

You look fat

Short and fat. In 1990 that didn't matter for baseball. I still ended up with three rings - that night being a big reason - also in the box!.
How about you?

That is great. A little home time capsule. Great stuff.

Not sure who that is so probably not. I do remember going on a recruiting visit to Auburn a few months after this back when they needed to replace another fatass first-baseman who could also hit anything.
Frank Thomas senior year game ball. Same box. Sharpie. :(

Never forget the true hero of 1989-1990. Not Shaq. Not Chris Jackson. Or even Ben McDonald.
Geert.
Geert Hammink owned the campus.
[ignore one-eyed Dick Vitale fake-staring at you behind that ticket - that's a whole other story]

Any time! Were you expecting applause?
This is such a garbage place to visit now. What happened? You win I'm sorry I bothered.

Bro, just thanking you for your contributions to our LSU baseball memories that’s all. You lived what most of us wish we could have. Wasn’t trying to offend you.

Aren't you the guy who virtue signals constantly and tries to hammer LSU hiring guys like Wade/Lane due to character? You're here making fun of his appearance. Pot meet kettle.
To OP, very cool.

Respectfully, what do you mean by this

Very cool! Great memories. Thank you for sharing and being a Tiger.

I think he means he won 3 rings at LSU. Pretty cool if true

Can’t tell the pic is blurry

I'm sure HHMich is overcompensating for something he lacks.
