Definitely a classic interview. That was pure unfiltered commentary by both Peterson and Mainieri.
Good stuff.
Such a great story!
A great story? He lied to his coach.

Todd's not lyin'... A) Todd was in HS. B) Todd hit bombs.*
*In BP... 90-95% of Todd's 450 ft +++ 'nukes' were way, way, way left of the LF foul pole, but they were still jaw-dropping. #legendoftoddy

Good-tale... But, Fake-News...
Todd got a few AB's in HS... I know, I kept score!
Ok, he wasnt lying, he mislead his coach, and last year at this time in regionals, he was suspended for breaking team rules. I am only repeating in an article that stated that.
I have read 3 different stories. Either way, not impressed.

Yup, he's a big dope and made a freshman mistake... So what? I'm sure Mainieri knew Toddy had very minimal plate-appearances in HS... He recruited him, and I KNOW he never saw him take a swing in HS or summer-ball with the Scorpions... I was there for that too...
It all made for good theater... So much so that Coach 'penciled' him in as the 4-Hole, DH for the next game as a joke...

Yes, it's funny now, but if the outcome was any different Mainieri might not find it so amusing. Right?
Why not just be honest with the guy and be straight up?
I can give you a whole bunch of better feel good stories, but unless you are a player in the top P5, on ESPN, no one really cares.
I am not a big SEC fan. This has nothing to do with LSU, or the coach, I am a players fan.
I am just not a fan of this guy.
