Senior Days

As many know, in college when you play athletics during your entire tenure, the day eventually comes where it will be the last set of games played. Most places call this senior day, a day in recognition of the hard work put in over the years. During the actual game there is usually a special recognition that goes on. UC Davis is no different, and as I am currently sitting waiting for the Davis v. Irvine game to begin, I am able to take it all in.

For these seniors their numbers (or initials if they are a team manager) ate sprayed around the logo. There are large posters, one per senior located a top the home dugout. Finally at the back of the stands behind the home dugout there is a table with journals that are engraved with the name, and number of the player. These journals are used by fans to leave encouraging/supportive messages for these students who have given so much of their time, and dedication.

These gestures are simple, but heartfelt!
