Quote from: WSJ 5/30/14Beyond his loud vocal stylings, Superfan is known for a repertoire of stadium theatrics. He has a special cheer for each batter, as well as for every run scored. He also celebrates with physical gusto, high-fiving people up and down rows of seats, even headbanging over the dugout. At dire moments when a run is sorely needed, he calls on the crowd to join him in breaking wind to spark a rally. Those days may be over. Mr. [Keith] Franklin has been effectively banned from the team's home games, which means he can only cheer the Anteaters at road contests—a costly proposition he says he can't afford.
