2 Clapping after 2 strikes: corroboration

I agree that this was the earliest I had ever heard of this practice (clapping when the opposing team's batter had two strikes on him). For all I know, this is when it started.

I was there with my dad...field level on first base side...still have the ticket stub...win put Guidry's won-loss record at 11-0...would eventually get to 14-0 before getting his first loss that season...and yes, as the game progressed the crowd spontaneously started clapping and standing up when the batter got to two strikes in anticipation of the K.
