    If he becomes 2nd HoF from SEC(they do let anyone in now) I assume it would be as an Oriole?? ;)

    Actually 3rd,, Hudson will probably be 2nd( undeserved IMO but probably gets in)

    Didnt go in as a player,, but no I didnt forget.

    Also was no SEC when he was at Bama so would be kinda hard to be from SEC

    Got me on this being pre-SEC.

    Still a Bama baseball player (played shortstop two seasons) is in the HoF. <joke>If UF was founded in 1853 as the East Florida Seminary then we have to take Bama back then as being in the SEC.</joke>

    Sewell did win SEC as Bama HC i think, and hes in HoF as a coach, so i guess technically hes a sec HoF er lol

    One of my favorite DOD stories is in 2005 when we were at Auburn for the weekend series. After winning the Friday night game (Alan started and Darren closed) Alan, Darren, and Tommy were coming in from their night’s celebration and were riding the elevator up to their floor.

    The elevator stopped and Ross Jones (pitching coach then) stepped onto the elevator with them.

    As the elevator started to move again, Jones looked at Alan, Darren, and Tommy and said “Y’all know I’ve got to discipline you for those three cases of cold beer you’re holding, right?”……

    So when Ross got off the elevator he smiled and took one case of beer.

    Good times!
