The Arizona Baseball team is on a roll. They just gave the UCLA Bruins a beating, but two special parents make all the difference; Tim and Rosanne Cloney.

Reasonably well known by Wildcats fans in California, the parental duo of Tim and Rosanne Cloney make watching their son J.C. and the Wildcats play way more enjoyable.

Don’t know who is up to bat? Don’t worry. The Cloney’s will let you know.

Don’t know a players Nickname? No Problem, the Cloney’s keep track of multiple nicknames for each player.

Don’t know how to cheer for the team or support the players during the game? Again, you are sitting in the right place to learn, if you sit behind these fun loving and dedicated Arizona parent team.

Sitting in the front row, Mrs. Cloney keeps track of the stats by hand, and she pays attention to everything going on off and on the diamond.

Hungry? Don’t worry about that either, Tim brings tootsie rolls with him to the game. He used to only bring one bag, but he has doubled the fun now and brought two. But not just anyone gets a tootsie roll thrown in their direction, and you have to be representing Arizona Athletics. No hat or shirt no candy. No cheering for the Cats? No candy. It’s incentive! Oh and he throws with great accuracy, so now we know where J.C. gets his skills.

Tim sits as close as possible to the dugout, and the coaches ask him questions if they need too. Against UCLA one of the coaches heard all the cheering and was wondering just how many fans were there. Tim and I let him know it was a huge turnout, it brought a smile to the coaches face. Note the hands in the air asking for tootsie rolls to be thrown in their direction.
