... is when they throw homerun balls of the opposition back onto the field.
That shows me we have some REAL home fans!

No, it shows that our fans try to be Cubs fans. These are the same fans that start the wave every night and "do the dance".

I don't care who hit it, if I catch a home run ball, I'm keeping it.

You don't give the baseball to the nearest kid? I sure wouldn't. ;)

People also throw the ball back because it's permitted..."guests are allowed to return a visitors' home run ball to the field; however, it must be done immediately and in such a way that it does not endanger any player. Interference with play in any way is not permissible".

While you mention it, one thing that disappeared with the old scoreboard is the multi-stickfigured Do The Dance graphic. A lot of people remember that silly thing and I think it's funny that they do. It's almost a tradition that fans try to mock that without the visual aid. :fans:

Personally, I find it a tragedy that the jumbotron dance is no longer showed on the scoreboard. I proudly do the jumbotron dance when the music plays (Salute to you little digital colorful stick figures).

I don't wave though.
