Listening to H2H last week and since our baseball team is dead and so is the board

[Saltydog]

who would you put on the Mt. Rushmore of MSU baseball. I'd have to go with:

Polk, Clark, Palmeiro and Brantley. Certainly there are others that would deserve consideration but those would be my three.

[Rayburn8]

Renfroe is in contention.

[Bothrops]

Can you imagine Renfroe with aluminum in college?

[msstate7]

Give me Travis chapman. My favorite diamond dog ever

[Saltydog]

imo.........Consideration would have to go to Phil Still, Del Unser, Buck Showalter, Pete Young and Thigpen........

[dawgoneyall]

Masters also.

[BulldogBear]

Masters also.

Beat me to it

[gravedigger]

Thigpen, showalter, mark Johnson

[msstate7]

What's sad is Ross Mitchell would've had a very strong claim coming into this year. I really hate what the new ball did to him his senior year

[War Machine Dawg]

Y'all are forgetting at least two of the most obvious candidates: Eric Dubose and Paul Maholm.

[Smitty]

Polk
Palmeiro
Clark
Renfroe

[DistrictDawg92]

I know we are having a tough year this year, but John Cohen has both played for us and lead us to a National Championship appearance. That has to be enough for consideration.

[Saltydog]

year. Before that, he was very average. Sure he was first round pick but so were several others. I just can't see putting him on the MT. Rushmore of MSU baseball.

[Saltydog]

would be in contention for one of the top 4. NONE!

[Homedawg]

Renfroe was a great player for a year, but he wouldn't be in the top 10. Need a all American year and more than a year to qualify. Especially considering we have multiples of those. Hard to argue w the op as far as the 4 that should go up there as of today. Malholm, dubose,rea, young, raffo would be some in contention but I like the 4 others better. Brantley, Clark and palmeiro are obvious. Only one spot left.

[Coach34]

Gregory would have to be on there- 4 SEC titles- 4 NCAA's, and a WS appearance

State had a winning beisball program before Polk stepped on campus. Polk just took it up another level and brought crowds

[Saltydog]

nt

[Coach34]

Gregory, Polk, Clark, Palmeiro

Gregory won as many SEC titles as Polk did

Or is he too known for Delta State now? He was our first successful big league player right? I mean the man still holds several major league records.

[shoeless joe]

If you add renfroe then you should also add Stratton. One big year.

I also think J Rea deserves more mention.

[Coach34]

Renfroe isn't top 10- not by a longshot. Isn't Richard Lee our all-time hits leader? Someone like that would be twice as deserving

[Homedawg]

Jeffrey rea all time hits leader I believe. But Richard lee would be on there before renfroe for me.

[shoeless joe]

Renfroe isn't top 10- not by a longshot. Isn't Richard Lee our all-time hits leader? Someone like that would be twice as deserving

Rea broke Lee's record.

[tcdog70]

Jack Lazorko, Del Unser, Bruce castoria Mike Kelly, Jeff Rea, Mark Gillespie, Nat the Bat Showalter, Tommy Raffo and Richard Lee.

Gregory would have to be on there- 4 SEC titles- 4 NCAA's, and a WS appearance

he had some great players--Sammy (the Catcher) Fletcher, Dave (the Hawk) Phares, Ted (yard dog) Milton, Bobby croswell, Jocko Potts, Del Unser, Mike Hall, Dennis Jones, Mike (the duck ) proffit, Phil Still,Whoop Stick Henderson, The Manuel brothers and the list goes on.

[HancockCountyDog]

I like Renfroe more than most, and to have him on this list is silly.

[Homedawg]

I like Renfroe more than most, and to have him on this list is silly.

Yea I know. He shouldn't be in the convo. 25 names should be ahead of him.

[Tbonewannabe]

Polk
Palmeiro
Clark
Renfroe

Renfroe only had 1 good year but it was absolutely fantastic. Adam Frazier did more over his career. Renfroe basically had a nonexistent freshman year, ok sophmore year, and a great junior year.

[Saltydog]

He held the NCAA record for HR's in a season at one point and is tied with Palmeiro for HR's in a season at 29.............I mean this guy used to launch them when he hit them too........A lot of the posters here are obviously younger guys who don't have a lot of MSU baseball history............

[Coach34]

I thought about him- but just can't put him ahead of Clark and Palmeiro

[Political Hack]

Raffy
Clark
Brantley
whoever hits the HR to win the SEC tournament this year.

[tcdog70]

MSU--1st team all-americans
