Review: The 2002 UL Baseball Post Season

[RyChat]

The fact remains that, from present outlook, there will be no athletic contests on the gridiron, between them, this session.

Great, great find, Turbine. Eerie how similar that is to the events of the past week. 100 years later, and nothing has changed over there.

If UL losses every game in BR this year, with the exact same atmosphere . . .

No games would have been cancelled.

I still an't believe it was the local media that suggested it first.

My God, we are caught in a time loop, groudhog day, deja vue over and over again.

The need to start playing home and home every year. I don't understand how they return EVERY state school in LA, but not UL...

Well, they used to play two games every year (home and home) until the two teams started brawling every game they played.. this is no joke, literally there was multiple brawls.. and skip bertman finally suspended the two teams from playing for at least 4 years of regular season play. The suspension is up.. hopefully we will start to have these games again every year. I think the last times the two teams met in the regular season was in 2002. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

You're wrong...there were no brawl. There were high and tight pitches, there were cleared benches, there were gums bumping, but there was no brawl.

And don't forget the "slipped" bat flying into the Cajun dugout.

Well... brawl or not.. my point was that the games were getting out of hand, benches clearing is just as dangerous and rediculous to happen in multiple games as a brawl. But if you consider a fastball in the back and a fastball in the helmet high and tight then you are way off. They weren't just high and tight they were on us. I was there and remember this part quite well.

Weren't there some fights in the stands between fans also????

Well they (Jim Hawthorne) did say that there was no way he could have planned that tossed bat going into the dug out so they dismissed it as an accident. Well that might be right but.

I recall that when I was a kid, I planned to throw a firecracker near an open door to the washhouse about 35 feet away to scare my mom who was in it at the time. Well it went in, and hit her just as it was popping. No way could I have ever planned on that actually happening. Still it happened, and I firmly believe that bat was released on purpose. Where it actually landed may not have been planned, probably was not. Callous disregard for human safety by a young man, not a stupid ten year old.
