And thanks to the team not only for earning it, but also for the ovation they gave him on the field after the game. My grim, puckered face cracked a nice smile as I watched and nodded approvingly.
It's a shame more people weren't there to see it.
Friday games are an inconvenience, no doubt, and the RG-J doesn't have the attendance posted yet (missed the announcement at the game), but a beautiful autumn evening in Reno providing the backdrop for game 1 in WAC play should have pulled more into the stadium even without the potential milestone. But throw that into the equation and it, except for the student section which gave a pretty good showing, becomes reminiscent of 1961 and the 23,154 who attended the last Yankees game of the season to watch Maris hit #61.
Shoulda been better.
Well, at least I had a lot of fun at the game, and it looked like the players did, too. And what did I tell you about that Wimberly kid? As sure-footed as a mountain goat, and as sure handed as some...sorta...good...receiver guy.
Yeah.
