'04 World Series ring!!

[Nutriaitch]

I went to the LSU/Tulane game tonight (dam thing got rained out though).

While at the ballpark, I was sitting in the concourse area when I noticed 3 fellers with MLB scout credentials.

One for the Rangers, on whose logo was hidden, and one from the Sox!

 

The Sox scout was wearing his Championship ring from the '04 season.

He actually let me check it out and take a picture of it! (I'll upload the photo when after I reach the 15 post minimum this site requires)

 

 

I prolly sound like a loser, but it was kinda a big deal for me to see something like that.

 

 

Asked if there was any particular he was there to see.

He wasn't real specific, just said that there was 3-4 guys from LSU he was gonna watch, and that Tulane's starter (Aaron Loup) was "ok".

 

Just wanted to share that with y'all.

Ha that's pretty cool. Welcome to the site.

[Nutriaitch]

Ha that's pretty cool.

 

yeah, living in south Louisiana, I don't get to see much MLB in person, (Houston is 6.5 hours from here is the closest) so this is by far the closest I've been to anything to do with the Red Sox.

 

 

Welcome to the site.

 

thanks

I figure the guys from LSU he was looking at were

 

D.J. LeMahieu (2B, SS)

Jared Mitchell (OF)

Ryan Schimpf (OF)

Sean Ochinko (1B)

 

I know most LSU fans expect the first two to leave school, with the next 2 as possibilities, but not likely.

wow, I didnt think anyone still wore championship rings anymore what with how gaudy they've become

I figure the guys from LSU he was looking at were

 

D.J. LeMahieu (2B, SS) decent ball player, better than average at the plate, not great range in the field (we just moved him from short to 2b last week becausee of this). May leave after this year since he'll be 21 come draft day

 

Jared Mitchell (OF) might be the fastest guy in college baseball, great baserunner(has mental lases sometimes), really good defender. Looking like he'll leave since his draft stock as risen considerably in baseball while his playing time in football is almost non-existant

 

Ryan Schimpf (OF) quality guy, but really quiet, gets very little publicity, just moved from 2b to outfield last week when DJ lost his SS job. Possible he'll leave, but may stick around to improve draft stock.

 

Sean Ochinko (1B) thig guy was on FIRE earlier this year. when he gets hot, he just goes off for week or so at a time, can catch or play 1st adequately. Toss up on him leaving, depends if he's still interested in splitting time at 1st and C with Micah Gibbs.

yeah, that thing was pretty big, was easy as hell to spot

when i tried to post it, I got a message saying there was a 15 post minimum before I could upload any pics or post any links.

something about helping to prevent spam, or people joining simply to pimp their own websites.

Are you a student at LSU or Tulane or just a fan?

 

 

I ask because I am strongly considering going to Tulane.

just a fan of LSU.

Born and raised a couple hours from campus, and been going to football and baseball games there since '86.

 

 

I ask because I am strongly considering going to Tulane.

 

why would anyone do something like that to themselves?

 

 

 

nah seriously, Tulane is a damn good school (academically speaking, they're LSU's bitches in athletics :thumbsup:). Getting a degree from Tulane is something to be proud of.

[Anuj09]

thats really cool.

 

Tulane has been high on the list - a big turn off is their one good player in the mlb now Micah Owings. No just kidding

 

. Ever been to the baseball stadium? Tulane I mean.

nah, haven't been to Tulane's stadium yet, but it is in the plans for next season.

it was completely remodeled before last season (may have been season before that).

From all accounts, it is a really nice ballpark.

Their baseball team is consistenly a pretty good club, so they have a good following (i.e. good cash flow from supporters), which helps them to have nice facilities in baseball.

 

 

ok, that's enough nice things about LSU's biggest baseball rival.

Hope LSU kicks the dog s*** outta them tonight.

Unless it's a medical degree, because Tulane doesn't have s*** on Xavier.
