BATON ROUGE — The 2000 NCAA baseball champions will be honored Wednesday, Nov. 8, at LSU Baseball Fun-tastic Night V in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. The banquet begins at 6 p.m. with a social hour, followed by dinner at 7 p.m.
The event features LSU head coach Skip Bertman, the six-time National Coach of the Year who directed LSU last June to its fifth College World Series title in 10 seasons. Bertman, who is entering his 18th and final season at LSU, will make special presentations to the members of the national championship squad. Other attractions include the debut of LSU?s 2000 highlight video and appearances by former Tigers now playing in the major leagues.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to honor the 2000 national champions on such a grand scale,” said Bertman, who is entering his 18th and final season at LSU. “I would encourage our fans to order their tickets as quickly as possible, because seating is limited. It will be a magnificent evening for our program.”
The event also includes a live auction for LSU and major league memorabilia, and a silent auction for several unique baseball items autographed by some of the game?s greatest players.
Special raffles will be also be conducted for a variety of prizes, including restaurant gift certificates and electronic merchandise.
