His daughter also goes to LSU now. They are a nice family.

Clark is a lot like Alex Bregman. I have met both, and I think they share some of the same personality traits.
More professional athletes are similar to these two than to majority of the people on this board. The confidence it takes to be that great at what you do comes off arrogant and a-holish to the average person because it usually is.

Played in a baseball league in BR with his son on my team. Will was nothing but a great guy to all of us. Had some great stories to tell too. Guy was pretty cool IMO.
I played on this team as well and couldn’t agree more. Will went to went to just about every game and always chopped it up with us. Even threw BP to us before a few games. I’ll always know him as a great guy.

I respect the hell out of Will and the way he played.
He wouldn’t have lasted in today’s game with these Millennials missing a week with a cracked toenail

You are a product of the time you grow up in so he probably would be just like them. Also not being able to take greenies and steroids are a big reason why they take as much time off during the season as they do. Steroids at the major league level were used for recovery more than anything in the 90’s early 2000’s.

I'll be that guy and say OK State and Texas had a little to do with it as well.

Not sure if they were the ‘start’ of the SEC dominance of NCAA baseball, but they certainly have a decent claim to it.
MSU got the wheels turning, UGA won the CWS in 90, then Bertman popped off in 91 and never took his foot off the gas. The west coast was king, but once Bertman got things rolling the rest of the SEC slowly started catching up.
Skip was Saban. It was just unfortunate for MSU that they were in the same division as LSU, otherwise Polk would have rose to a more national promenence.

all I know is Rafael Palmero flat-out lied to Congress and the American people about PEDs.

The only grind in baseball is the traveling. The game itself is leisurely, with guys barely moving for 3 hours, except for pitcher and catcher. Most guys stand in the field, rarely having to move. And 5 times over 3 hours, they bat and sprint (sometimes) 30 yards in a straight line.
Recovery? Please.
(Again, except for pitchers and catchers)

162 games in 180 days takes a toll on the human body and then you add in the traveling so yes recovery is a huge part of Major League Baseball.

and further west, baw, it's laughable that the P&G kool-aid sippers on here think that LSU is solely responsible for the rise in popularity in college baseball, yes, we were a big contributor, but what started the tsunami was the advent of ESPN, 24 hour programming, and then branching out to having a network for for every league there is, all the way down to beer belly flag football leagues, there's literally nothing that is deemed a sport that you can't find on tv, when I was going to LSU, you couldn't even watch LSU football games every week, they just weren't aired that often
ETA: and don't forget the aluminum bats

I may be in the minority, but my thoughts on steroids and PEDs in baseball is this: who gives a rat’s arse? They didn’t even start testing for them until 2003 and before 1991, they were 100% legal.

As I said, the traveling is what can be exhausting.

College baseball still isn’t mainstream.
I love it but let’s be real here.
It was probably 6-8 years ago LSU was playing in the post season and ESPN had a spelling bee on. I have no idea why I did it, but I called ESPN and complained. Oddly enough the lady on the phone said "wow, you LSU fans sure do love your baseball, the phones won't stop ringing about it".

But Gorilla Ball, with big offense, meant any lead wasn't safe, even in the bottom of the 9th. The fireworks made the game more entertaining.
Not so much nowadays.
