This is from May 2011....

Im sure most people are familiar with the "Curtain Call. It usually happens when a player reaches a milestone, the player comes out of the dugout and is supposed to give a nice wave to the fans thanking them for their support. That's the way it should be.

The audience who loved the performance so much would applaud
