    Rooker

    Was anybody else surprised to find out Rooker was our 1st ever SEC player of the year?? I wouldve guessed we had more considering our history and all the guys in the pros

    Tony Kemp won it over Renfroe in 2013. That is a joke. Kemp has 3 AB's for the Astros this year

    The official POTY award has only been awarded since 1993.

    It surprised me. I'll be honest. Since 1993 we've done a better job producing elite pitchers than hitters in general though.

    Not many people know this, but LSU actually has a fantastic baseball program.

    All I know about LSU baseball is that Baylor's women's basketball coach is the starting SS's mom.

    No wonder he is a good hitter. I have never heard of a parent actually playing wiffle ball with their kids.

    They can't give it to minor leaguers
    Not only did Mississippi State embarrass LSU on this night. Davis Wade Stadium wrecked Tiger Stadium in music choice, atmosphere and, most of all, volume.
