2 of my all time favorite Cajuns.. Regardless of wins and losses, we've been fortunate as a fanbase to get to know these kind of human beings. That's what I'm most proud of. Remarkable men.

I think a great way to honor our past would be naming the entrance to the Tigue Sgt John Coker Pavilion

Yes... And place his jersey on the panel he ran through.

I've said it numerous times, but I would put an outline of a player on the outfield wall that he ran into (and broke) with him name. JMO

My thought is that the stadium fixed structures will be named for donors for the new stadium improvements.

I'd be willing to bet one of those donors is one of those guys in the article, who obviously is very close to the other guy.

You could be right. They are fundraising right now with naming rights for various structures or rooms being on the table. I'm not a fan of naming a field unless it's similar to a football deal where they are paying you a lot of money each year. JMO

I just meant, Lucroy getting something named after Coker... Or getting something in the park for him with his donation. Not the field but some kind of dedication.

I did not know that Lucroy and Coker were roommates.
