I was at last Friday night's game, a lone fan wearing a Stanford sweatshirt sitting some distance behind the visitor dugout and toward home plate. When the team made signal, I made commensurate noise at timely moments, like "Turn two, baby! Turn two!" after Matt Scott got the hυge double play in the bottom of the seventh.
Perhaps I was imagining things, but looked like one of the Stanford players acknowledged my presence in the stands on the way back toward the dugout from the victory huddle on the mound.
