"This guy changed college baseball. ... He changed the game in so many ways." Ben McDonald reflects on the life and legacy of LSU legend Skip Bertman with Paul Finebaum:

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Wow, awesome interview. So glad Coach Bertman talked you into broadcasting Ben, you are the best in the game. So sorry for your loss.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum hearing Ben get emotional just illustrates the impact Skip had.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Ben when he told you it’s the bottom of the ninth It’s heartbreaking

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum I’m not crying it’s just allergies… awesome interview @realbenmcdonald

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Crying—thank you Ben for sharing those stories. Coach was right about your broadcasting career. So glad you listened! Very sorry for your loss. Rest easy, Skip🙏

@finebaum @realbenmcdonald The greatest coach LSU has ever had in any sport. A true gentleman. Thank you Skip and Ms. Sandy. A great lady.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Sending much love to the entire Bertman family, @realbenmcdonald, @LSUCoachJ, @LSUbaseball and all the other LSU alumni mourning Coach Bertman's loss. He is college baseball's GOAT! There will never be another like him. RIP Coach. 🙏💙

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Ok, now I’m crying

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Boy was Skip right about you being a great broadcaster with lots of stories to tell!! So glad you were able to spend time with him last night. You were very special to him. Will never forget his words when LSU played A & M twice in one day, "We've got Ben McDonald."

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Mr. Bergman was ALL CLASS, and a good soul, through and through. He will be missed and remembered.

@ScarboroughMike @realbenmcdonald @finebaum

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Rip coach and god bless Ben McDonald such a great ambassador for the game and skips legacy will continue on with men like him.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Such a great loss, praying for the family

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Rest in peace Skip. Baton Rouge will remember your legacy and the inspiration you gave to generations of baseball players

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum That is so awesome!!! Loved the videos of the players comments, too.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Goodness that’s a tough listen

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum RIP Skip. We lost a legend.

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum I do not like Marty and McGee new set, the lodge was awesome. This looks like thier wives designed the set. BIG MISS

@realbenmcdonald @finebaum Just saying as great as Skip was, Nick Saban was hired by Joe Dean and Mark Emmert in November of 99. Skip didn't take over as AD until Dec .2000. Skip was the AD when Saban won the Title in 2003 and Skip did hire Miles who won it in 2007.
