    Sheffield was a nightmare at the plate if he was facing your team. It just always felt like when you needed to get him out he would put it in the left field bleachers. It was fun those 2 years he was with the Braves because he was finally on my team.

    Glue Guy. He about willed the '84 Cubs to the Playoffs on his own. So well respected that a guy who hit .291; .410 OBP; 14 HR and 82 RBI's placed 5th in the MVP voting.

    South Carolina in 2018 didn't host with 17 wins. That's it. You can't count the Kentucky fiasco last year.

    So I guess Arkansas w 18 wins in 22 and lsu w 17 wins in 22 don't count??? Neither hosted. So 3 times in the last 5 years tourney's were held it's happened. That's a far cry from none. To make it worse ark had the t third best sec record and a 14 rpi and lsu had the 4th best league record and the 17th best rpi. ...... clearly precedent

    He was one of those players every successful team has to have. Not the superstar or most talented, but the leader in the clubhouse and the guy who always makes the big play when needed. He was one of those players everyone respected and looked up to.
