BATON ROUGE — The LSU Baseball Coaches Committee and the Tiger Baseball Alumni Foundation are teaming next month to host the annual LSU Baseball Alumni Weekend.
The weekend will be highlighted by a pair of games on Saturday, February 4 in Alex Box Stadium. The Legends Alumni Game, featuring former LSU players, will begin at 2:30 p.m. All players — from any era of LSU Baseball — who have worn the Purple and Gold are invited to participate in the Legends Alumni Game.
The Legends Alumni Game will be followed at 5 p.m. by a Purple-Gold Game featuring members of the current LSU squad and former Tigers who are active in pro baseball. The LSU team and the professional players will be merged into two squads for the game, so that former players and current players will be competing on the same teams.
Tickets to the Alumni Game and the Purple-Gold Game may be purchased through the LSU Athletics Ticket Office by visiting www.LSUsports.net or by calling (225) 578-2184. Tickets, which are good for both games, are $8 for adults and $5 for children ages 3-12.
Prior to the Alumni Game, the YMCA Baton Rouge Kids’ Baseball Clinic will be held from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. in Alex Box Stadium. The event is a free instructional clinic conducted by an All-Star list of current and former professional players, scouts and coaches. Autograph and photo opportunities will be available following the clinic.
The Alumni Weekend begins with the Coaches Committee golf tournament at Noon on Friday, February 3 at the University Club in Baton Rouge.
The golf tournament, which will use a four-man scramble format, is open to LSU fans and former Tiger players and coaches, and spaces are limited.
The entry fee is $150 per person and includes green fee, cart, golf pullover shirt, a photo with LSU coach Smoke Laval, food and beverages, and a chance to win valuable prizes.
Sponsorships, which include signage at the course, are available for $250 per hole. Sponsorships are open both to golf tournament participants and to groups wishing to support the LSU Baseball program.
A party will be held after the tournament at Walk-On’s Bistreaux on Burbank Drive in Baton Rouge.
