    I can only pick 5?

    1. Wally Pontiff- his presence anywhere he went was amazing. He was extremely talented on and off the field. He gave me a birthday card when I turned 15 and never walked past my friends and I without stopping and talking. He was a good guy, good baseball player, and a good friend--may he rest in peace

    2. Brad Cresse- amazing player to watch and a great guy as well. The homeruns he hit were monstrous. I talked to his dad a few times and he's a great guy too

    3. Aaron Hill- great guy, great baseball player- always a fun one to hang around and talk to. Yall should have seen him when he first had crawfish- it was priceless

    4. Todd Walker- a family friend. Watching him play was awesome- never ceased to amaze me with his talent.

    5. Eddie Furniss- awesome first basemen. One of the first LSU "heroes" that I ever met and watched play.

    Oh man, now I'm pumped up for the baseball season

    If this were a top 25 Jason Williams would be on there. With a program like LSU that's a huge accomplishment.

    Any Gary Hymel or Pete Bush fans out there? Wasn't Hymel CWS MVP for their first Championship in the 90's?

    Skip kicked him off of the team prior to the CWS in his final year. He had an attitude long before he started making money but he was a great player.

    i think my fav would have to be
    wally just because he was great all the way around the worst part was he died the same day i broke my leg so thats like saddest day of my young life

    aaron hill one of the best talents i have ever seen and he also cares about his school and his old team very thankful for the oppertunity he had at LSU

    tim lainer he always seemed to give it his all and was my fav when i was young

    trey mcclure he could play anywere and was a great athlete remebered more at central because of basketball than baseball

    trey hodges he was very guty and always knew how to get hitters out
    I know this is not the most talented group but they were my favs

    Zephaniah Kanulah Zinsman...The only man to ever try to skateboard up the hill trailing up from Tiger Stadium to Lockett Hall....

    Skateboarding uphill...Now if that isn't a microcosm for Zinsman and his mindset, what is?
