Augie did this too with one of his CSF teams. Team bus pulls up to the tailgate as they were leaving the Box. Door opens up and its Augie. Someone tosses him a beer, he cracks it open and downs it then makes a legendary Augie speech

Or so how the story goes..

One crazy Friday night at the old Box I was sitting up with the Left Field Lunatics and one of those guys had a live goat in the stands.

I don’t know why. But I’ve never forgotten that scene.

I was sitting in the old box and made the comment, “who the hell names their kid Buzzy”. The lady in front of me turns around and said, “I do”. It was his mom, lol

Early 90’s playing USC in the 6 team regional. We won the regional , but Jacque Jones for USC hit 5-6 home runs during the regional. He hit number 5 against us. After the side was retired , he jogged out to his position in left field. The entire outfield erupted with a chant of “Transfer, Transfer Transfer”. He smiled and tipped his cap to the lunatics.


I was there and remember giving him hell that weekend. He was a good sport and a great player.

I went to a game in 1982. There may have been 20 people there.

I was thinking of posting about that one too! That was a very strange experience watching them hover all around the field trying to get the water to evaporate. They also poured diesel (at least I think that's what they used) on the huge lake around home plate and set it on fire. I don't know that we have ever had as many delays as we had in that particular Regional.

Nobody getting killed by the ball when fans got to sit on the ground in foul territory during big games in the late 80s/ early 90s

I might have been one of those 20.

Does the Billy Cannon Runback, ring a bell?

Skip got to LSU in 1984, during that time, the head coach of the Ole Miss baseball team, Jake Gibbs. Yep, the same guy that punted the ball to Billy Cannon.
During those days, LSU Baseball was not much of a sport. A few girlfriends, every now and then family members, and a few students, some just to study in the stands.
One kid had a battery operated jam box. On a cassette tape, the Cannon runback. They announced the lineups, coaching for Ole Miss, Jake Gibbs, the kid fired up the runback. Every break in the action, he’d fire it back up. Later in the game there was a close play at first, Jake shot out of the dugout, like his life depended on it! He argued the call, then point to the kid with the Jam Box. The ump just shrugged his shoulders. Gibbs wouldn’t stop, finely he was ejected. With the kid, rewinding it, playing it again.
Even Skip kind of got a chuckle.
