A well deserved title. You forgot to mention that these folks are not even from Napa and that they travel from So-Cal for every game they attend. I am sure it helps that they have an awesome grandson they can visit while they are here, but nevertheless they are true fans, anyone can tell that just by listening to them on the stands. They know names of every player and cheer sometimes louder that us parents. They are truly appreciated.
