Maybe a statue of Skip staring at his current statue

Make a ring of Skips staring at each others backsides.

Warren Morris! He won us a national championship when we were behind with two outs in the ninth. It's the most famous moment in college baseball history.

It isn't just what was done on the field, but how LSU is represented.
Simone came to her home state university and continued her greatness throughout her career. Shaq still bleeds LSU and is one of our greatest ambassadors.
Along those lines, you have to pick Ben. His LSU and MLB career, plus his post-playing life represents LSU in a way that makes us proud he wore purple and gold.

Tell me you haven’t been to New Alex Box without telling me you haven’t been to New Alex Box.

I didnt really follow LSU baseball much when Walker was playing. Damn I wish I could have watched that live.


He is the only player I have ever watched play and be almost shocked when he didn't get a hit/get robbed on a hard hit ball every single at bat.

Eh, mainly because he stayed 4 years whereas most of our best players in program history haven't.


Through his first 3 years, Furniss had a lower career BA, fewer RBIs, fewer hits, fewer 2Bs, and an equal number of HRs


Just out curiosity, where do you think Joe Burrow ranks in the history of LSU football players?

How about a statue of Alex Cora laying down on the infield with his glove over his face after Morris hit the dinger?

That ball girl who threw the fair ball in the stands. Make a statue of when she said "Was it fair? frick!"

That was one of my all-time funniest moments in sports.
