Wrong thread?
nope. just expanded about Doc Furniss a little.
Mouton hit one in Omaha that is still travelling. I think it went dead center field and they never found the ball. legendary. the old stadium was kinda on a hill and the ball just went out of site.

I tried to find that one on youtube, but it wasnt there. I remember that one like yesterday. MONSTER.

Oh ok.
I was thinking you meant to post in the Furniess thread that was up here earlier.
My fault.

I don't think that is "the" Florida one. We played them twice in the series that year and he hit 2 or 3. It seems like it was more toward center, well over the batters' eye.

Lyle had an amazing one against Witchia State in the '91 CWS as well, IIRC. What a great player.
But my two personal favorite LSU HRs (and that's saying a lot) were Hawpe's against USCw in the 2000 CWS. First, he hammered one off Mark Prior (to tie the game, when we'd been looking lethargic beforehand), and Prior was none too happy about it. Then, he hit a frickin' monster that to my eyes is so far beyond the outfield bleachers you can't even see it come down. It was a revenge dish, best served cold, to those who kept us from the three-peat in '98.
Watch the .55 mark for the first, and the 1.37 mark for the second:

I think Rios hit the only HR in that game.

I remember Lyle from my Crowley High School days when we were heading to STM to play them in baseball and I was a Junior and a rarely used pitcher. Coach Kevin Magee came up to me on the bus ride there and told me I was pitching that game. Lyle Mouton took me deep to the track but didn't take it out of the park. I can remember it like it was yesterday. STM players were yelling "help me coach, I'm a noodle" and "hey kid, whats that string hanging out of your shirt...OH, wait that's your arm". I went on to pitch 6 innings and we won because they couldn't hit that 83 mile an hour cheese I was throwing. Boy, I wish I could go back to those days!!

The long HR that everyone talks about that Lyle hit was against Nicholls State in 91' and it indeeed hit the dorms in left field. The reason I know cuz I was there. It was my freshman year for the Colonels and he hit it of Shane Especia. It sounded like a cannon went off when he hit it and it looked like it was gonna cross the light pole. Remember it like it was yesterday. One of the hardest balls I had ever seen hit. What everyone fails to realize is that when we played back in the early 90's, the bats were dead as they are today. It was basically like swinging a piece of conduit. he swung a black magic easton (top dog back in the day). It wasn't until my senior year that the -5's (so called ping pong bats) came out, thus larson's monster season. All they are doing is basically going back to the old style bats.

i believe everything you said until 'they are going back to the old style bats' - bs - the diameter of the new bats has changed drastically - so your telling me that the bats that were used in the early 1990's are the same type that are being used in 2012 - i need some more evidence to believe this crap.

yep. The only real glaring difference is the bats went from 2 3/4" barrels to 2 5/8" barrels. The bats were all -3's until aroung '94-'95 in which they went -5's. At the time, they were only a few bats wotrh swinging and the magic was one of them. Hell the easton gold that everyone remembers had just came out around the 89-90's. Hymel hit hit HR's with this. It was just 2 years earlier in 86-87 when Belle hit the school record for HR's with a silver easton (old school, called green easton). The one glaring thing is barrel diameter. The smaller barrel diameter doesn't have the same spring board effect as the older 2 3/4" but overall the bat is basically the same. So again, yes the bats now are as close as it get to the older style bats as it gets other than the barrel diameter. I would go so far as to say that I would rather swing the bats of today that the shite we used back then. The bats now are more balanced.

god Mouton was a beast.
Alls i gotta say is, if you have recruits down on the field during a visit and you play that video on the jumbotron, how the hell do they not sign in blood right on the spot?
