The time LSU punter Zach Von Rosenberg hitchhiked around Omaha with $27 in his pocket

Zach Von Rosenberg stood in the old Rosenblatt Stadium ticket line, waiting to see LSU play in the College World Series, when a stranger picked him out of the crowd.

"Hey, you're the new baseball player," she said.

Von Rosenberg had just graduated high school. He was a top LSU baseball commit, but not necessarily somebody you could simply spot from a distance.

"How did you know that?" he asked.

"I saw your picture online," she said. "Somebody posted that you needed a ride or something."

Von Rosenberg did need a ride because he was alone in Omaha, Nebraska, with nearly no money in his pocket and no friends or family in the area.
