Rally towels, shaved heads,
now glasses show school pride
The list is long of special props brought by fans to games to support a team. There's rally towels, homer hankies, the “we're #1” oversized foam index-finger, not to mention, of course, team caps, sweatshirts, t-shirts, and posters.
Even shaved heads!? (More about that in photo caption below.)
Now there's a brand new one. Glasses. That is, fans wearing glasses. Large glasses. Large glasses without lenses. That's what can be seen throughout the stands at any Lafayette Ragin Cajuns softball game.
It is the fans demonstrating support for the team and the young lady in the circle, Christina Hamilton, the pitching phenom with glasses!

WOLVERINES OPENER last season (recognize anyone?) against the Gallaudet Bison in Washington, DC. GOING BALD: There are a several young WOMEN in the crowd with shaved heads. This, apparently, is a long-standing tradition for Gallaudet freshmen, who shave their heads after dyeing their hair bright colors for a semester. CLICK HERE for more on Gallaudet's Bald Day. |
Christina Hamilton has been wearing glasses while throwing heat since high school. Her record last season, amid multiple awards, was 29-4 with a 1.56 ERA in 237.1 innings hurled, so the glasses are nothing she plans to change anytime soon. She does, however, pitch with the lenses removed.
