  • Tigers will sign autographs after ring ceremony

    From LSU media relations

    An autograph session with LSU’s 2009 national championship baseball team will be held on Saturday after the Tigers receive their 2009 College World Series championship rings.

    The team will receive rings at Alex Box Stadium during a special ceremony that begins at 4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public, and all gates to the stadium will open at 3:30 p.m.

    The ceremony will feature remarks from Director of Athletics Joe Alleva and coach Paul Mainieri, along with a video presentation that captures the spirit of the 2009 national championship club.

    The Tigers will sign autographs for one hour following the conclusion of the ceremony on the concourse level inside Alex Box Stadium.

    “This team had tremendous chemistry and work ethic, and it proudly represented LSU and our entire state,” Mainieri said. “This ceremony will be a fitting tribute to the accomplishments of our players, coaches and staff.”
