On 4-15-89 does anyone remember the LSU/Mississippi State doubleheader where LSU allowed the fans to sit down the foul lines on the field in Alex Box because of the overflow crowd?

I think both Polk and Bertman agreed to allow it. I couldn't find pics of it, but that's something I'll always remember.

I watched some games in The Box when State traveled there in 1985. Mississippi State entered the series undefeated and #1 in the country, but lost 2 out of 3 to LSU that weekend. Great atmosphere, even back then.

Yep, they did. When I was Googling to try to confirm the MSU-LSU series, I saw that MSU did win the SEC tourney that season and therefore, the SEC. I believe that was during the years that the SEC Tourney winner was named "SEC Champion" and there was no championship awarded for having the best conference record during the season.

I believe that changed with expansion in 1992.

LSU and MSU used to have a good baseball rivalry, hope it gets to that again soon.

You are correct. I believe LSU was a game, maybe 2, better than us in the SEC that year.
