No he doesn't but he does look good for 85

He is a legend in his own time.

We met him in Tempe at LSU - ASU baseball game about 20 years ago. Special guy

I remember when he was hired...never could have imagined all this when that hired was made...

Beast went to all the games in Omaha
He actually came home after the first game. Wasn't there all week.
Sandy isn't doing great and he didn't want to be gone too long.
But point well taken. He is a beast at 85

Skip shows up at a Cabela type store in 1983 or 84 and people ignore him as he tries giving tickets away lol

He went to Steinberg’s to give away tickets

Meh I feel like Wayne Graham was still coaching in his 90s!
(Yes I know WG still isn’t 90)
That Old Guard was a special group led by the GOAT Skip Bertman.

In the great book of everything baseball, if there is a face that defines baseball manager, then his is in it.

He’s still alive?

Wiki says he’s 87. He wouldn’t have made it in modern coaching with the new time limits on mound visits lol.

Skip is still super sharp especially for his age. I hope I have it together as much as he does if I make it that far

And he probably spent the afternoon at Lauberge and enjoyed a little cigar.

They should put a statue of him somewhere on campus!

There’s one at the stadium. It’s rather large.
