My 5th Anniversary. Got married on 6/8/91 when we got our first natty. I’ve been able to attend the last three championships, took my two sons to the 2009 natty, my college roommate (Gator fan) in 2023, and went solo last year. Still married and still enjoy watchin LSU baseball in June!

Kevin Shipp worked faster than anyone I’ve ever seen! I’m really going to be showing my age here but I was 3 years old during this game!

Could Wilson have scored from 3rd on the wild pitch?

Also, I googled what happened to the homerun ball and there's no info on it. Seems like Morris would've wanted that.

Hopefully, he got it. They typically send someone out in the crowd with a bunch of swag to try to get it for the player

. Warren works at a bank in CenLa…..the next time I am in there, I’ll ask him!

I believe that’s one of the greatest moments in the history of LSU athletics!

Went to school with Shipp growing up and played on a couple of high school teams with him. Man, getting old

Burrell crushed that ball in the 6th with the bases loaded. Thank God the wind was whipping in. What an awesome day.

I seem to recall him saying that the guy who caught it gave it to him.
