Walker
Furniss
McDonald
Cresse

Nola next

Excluding Skip cause I was thinking just players. If you wanna include skip, then he is the whole mountain. No need for players to be on there

Any list that doesn’t include Ben McDonald and/or Furniss is laughable

Warren Morris (single greatest moment in LSU Sports) but the reality is Furniss is the correct answer.
Todd Walker
Aaron Nola (difficult but I take him over Ben)
Skip

But this guy - Armando Rios - is probably the most clutch hitter in the program's history. Time after time he came through when it was needed most.

Loved me some Mondo as that dude had a mean streak and was a badass, but Big Country (DJ LeMahieu) literally won that 2009 CWS when we thought Game one was done vs UT. He did that a shitload in 2009.

That’s it. No one is close to those 4. You can pick 15 different guys at 5. None come close to those 4

We gonna need a bigger Mt Rushmore. So many great players over the years.

What about some of the true closers we had that when they entered in the game....you had extreme confidence that it was over. Talking about guys like Louis Coleman or Da Dreadlocks of Doom.

Todd Walker has more championships than Paul and he played a lot less years

Beau can actually be a good choice, in my book. He became a favorite of mine when he flipped off that pitcher as he was running to first base. That was classic! One of my favorite baseball plays.
