The golden voice of Tigerland

By JIM BUTLER

Perhaps even the loquacious Lyn Rollins would have run out of words in LSU’s Cade Arrambide’s four-homer game Easter Sunday.

Nah. It would have been pucker up and kiss that baby goodbye times four.

Rollins, one of six 2026 Bolton High School Hall of Fame inductees, has been the voice of LSU baseball and other televised contests for two decades, perhaps the most well-known aspect of a distinguished career.

But he was widely known to area sports followers before then, thanks to local newspaper, radio and television work, and to countless Alexandria Aces games featuring his distinctive voice.

Lyn (Elwood Lindsay Rollins Jr.) is a 1968 Bolton graduate. He earned his undergraduate degree at NSU and master’s in journalism at LSU.

In addition to media outlet work in the area he worked in public relations at LCU and in marketing at Christus Cabrini.

He is a Distinguished Service Award winner in Sports Journalism from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association, inducted in the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame in 2018.

Friends and fans have a chance to hear him again at his induction, and that of five others, into the Bolton Hall of Fame at a dinner and ceremony April 24.
