Gaffney said he missed the adrenaline on football game days, the challenge of "moving another man against his will" and lining up with 10 other players as opposed to a one-on-one matchup with a pitcher. At times, he said living with a host family in State College, Pa.,Discount NFL Jerseys, and being surrounded by intense Penn State football fans felt like being on another planet compared to Stanford's serene Silicon Valley campus.
When baseball season ended, Gaffney attended almost every Stanford home game and a couple on the road, including at Oregon when the Cardinal outlasted the top-ranked Ducks in overtime en route to a conference championship and the program's first Rose Bowl victory in 41 years. |
