The Necessity of Passion

Our rookies' passion for winning games (even in Wrigley Field) aside, this was an interesting story on the Giants' team website.

Please pay attention to the last thing said, by Alex:

Hinshaw was astounded not by inanimate objects, but by the fans, who have long contributed to Wrigley's colorful atmosphere.

"You go to some parks, and the fans are just there to hang out," Hinshaw said. "Here, they pay attention to every pitch and they're involved in everything. It's like they have 40,000 players on one team. Forty thousand people want to be in the dugout slapping fives. 'Passionate' is an understatement. Fans like that are special."

Any other response necessary here? Vocal, historical, passionate, knowledgeable fans are, and forever will be, good for S.F.

All the best,
MSH
