One of my daughters graduated from Stanford in 2001. She was a club jock whose Ultimate Frisbee teams in '98 and '99 won the national collegiate championship, then earned runner-up in '01. In other words, a competitive athlete.
Yet there are so many high-level amateur athletic events going on in Palo Alto that though my daughter frequented Maples during the Collins Twins era, winkling her fingers on foul shots, she never went to a WVB game even though Logan Tom was revolutionilizing the sport.
Early last winter, I was on cellphone with my daughter when I mentioned that Stanford was about to play for the WVB title against Texas, and that it would be on TV.
Soon after the match ended, my daughter called: Wow! What a sport!!
Yup.
