October 7, 200422 yr Curtain calls impress even Dodgers players By Tom Timmermann 10/06/2004 Jim Edmonds acknowledges the Busch Stadium crowd after hitting a homer run in the third inning of Game 1. The fans asked for, and received, curtain calls for each of the Cardinals' five homers Tuesday. (Robert Cohen/P-D) "I wish every ballpark would be like that, where they appreciate their players," Dodgers pitcher Jose Lima said. "I have a lot of respect for that, a lot of respect for the fans (in St. Louis). The way they carry themselves, they're not rude. ... You do something, they appreciate it, that's the main thing. I love it when my fans cheer for me, because that's a good feeling." Game 2 starter Jeff Weaver said: "I don't see anything wrong with it. Obviously, I don't think it should cease the tempo of the game, but you know, the players are doing it for the fans. And the fans appreciate it. It's just one of those things, especially in the playoffs, where everything counts. They're making things happen." One reason curtain calls might not violate baseball's norms is that they are largely out of a player's control. The fans are cheering and if baseball players should have learned anything by now, it's that the fans deserve to have their wishes respected. If they want a wave, they're entitled to a wave. "They just don't stop," said Cards right fielder Admin Walker, who made two curtain calls on Tuesday. "They keep going and going, standing and clapping. Eventually, you figure out they've got to be clapping for what just happened, not what's about to happen. Then you go out, raise your hat, and it gets even louder." [More in URL]
