I hope he gets a standing ovation loud enough for him to have to step out of the batters box and tip his cap.

I can't speak for others, but I will be giving him a standing O. If you can't understand why he deserves one, honestly I feel a little sorry for you.

Like others have said, he'll get a standing O. I'd be extremely surprised if there's any booing going on.

I know some casual drunk moronic fans will boo but for the most part I hope he gets a nice hello from us Brewers fans. It is weird though seeing him in a Phillies uni wearing #10. |

Jenkins is my favorite post 80s player for the Brewers. I'll be giving him a standing O even if i am watching from home. He has been Mr Brewer for several
years.
I wish I had a Sweet Pepper and Egg Sandwich right now.

Hey, I certainly believe he shouldn't get booed - it's this idea that we owe him something because he came to work every day and did his job. I guess I
don't understand. He made money here that he wouldn't have made anywhere else - that's why he was here for so long. I think it's silly to act
like he stuck around out of some selfless act. Had he been a stand out and been offered better money elsewhere, he would have gone, same as any number of other
guys that have left over the past few years. Certainly fans will clap for him, but I guess I feel like an internet campaign and printable signs is a bit over
the top.

Carlos Lee shows up 'every day & [does] his job.' Geoff Jenkins routinely put in overtime. I'll echo this to you: I can't speak for others, but I will be giving him a standing O. If you can't understand why he deserves one, honestly I feel a little sorry for you. I can't believe he's gone... -- Luke Skywalker, aboard the Millennium Falcon, clearly

I did read what you said -- what I was responding to was the notion that Jenks didn't really deserve all the fan-fare. Plus, what I quoted was about a
Standing O, as opposed to just some 'cheers'. We'll agree to disagree, I guess.

Yeah, I guess I just never got the love affair with him, which you obviously do - so we're never going to see the same page.

I'm so excited for the Wednesday game, it'll be my first game of the year, and me and a few friends called a week or two ago to get tickets and got
first row in the right field bleachers. We have an idea for a sign for Jenkins, should be TV worthy.

I have tickets for Wednesday's game.
I was planning to not even acknowledge Jenkins. I cheered for him at the end of last year to thank him for his career in Milwaukee. He was a nice player, but nothing special. However, if I hear booing around me, I will get on my feet and cheer like Babe Ruth had been reincarnated. |

boy, that highlight of Jenkins running through the stop sign to score the winning run last night was just vintage Jenkins. The guy just wants to be a winner. I
love him as a player. I may not love his statistics but I love his attitude, work ethic, hustle, and down-home ballplayer-ness.
