RIP Coach. Wonderful human being. Spent many summer camps there during the 90’s. Fun time to be a kid in springtime.

From practicing batting at Skip Bertman's Grand Slam to dealing him blackjack when I grew up. I'll miss him. True legend.

He’s with Mrs. Sandy coaching Heavens team now, with Wally at 3rd. Rest Easy Skip, Rest Easy

Damn! Razorback fan passing through here. What a legend. He’s admired throughout college baseball. 5 NCAA World Series? Are you kidding me? Seriously, he is an important person in the fabric of college sports. LSU was lucky enough to have him. Everyone else was lucky enough to admire him. RIP Coach Bertman. What an impact you made!
