Given High Fives: 728 Rep Power: 1026 | LSU's McDonald elected to College Baseball Hall of Fame One of my favorite former LSU baseball players from Denham Springs, LA. Congrats to McDonald!
Former LSU star Ben McDonald is among 12 former players and coaches elected today for the third induction class of the College Baseball Hall of Fame. McDonald is joined by Jackie Robinson (UCLA), Steve Arlin (Ohio State), Eddie Bane (Arizona State), Floyd Bannister (Arizona State), Neal Heaton (Miami), Burt Hooten (Texas), the late Dick Howser (Florida State), and Greg Swindell (Texas). Former Oklahoma State and New Mexico State coach Gary Ward also was elected. McDonald, who pitched at LSU from 1987-89, set the school’s career mark with 373 strikeouts and was the No. 1 overall draft pick by Baltimore in 1989.  |
