Fan of the Game

I am a little late getting this post up!  Game 3 Fan of the Game: Dave Benere.  Little League has pretty strict rules during tournament play - families and fans are not allowed to talk to the players or coaches.  Doing so can mean a loss for the team.  Dave is Dahlen's dad, our score keeper, the only person in the stands allowed to talk to the coaches, and the man who knows every nuanced rule of base running, substitutions, pitch counts and player rotation.  For those of us in the stands, he is the go-to guy for every question we have during the game.  And he answers all of them patiently and happily.  And while it is wholly deserved to have Dave Fan of the Game,  it is even more appropriate to say that all the rest of us are fan's of Big D.
