South Carolina baseball games will never sound the same.
Super fan Bill Golding died Friday morning, a family friend told The State. He was 84.
Golding, from Elgin, attended his first South Carolina football game in 1984. It was his presence at baseball games for more than 30 years that garnered a following of generations of Gamecocks fans.
He was a visual and audio fixture at Sarge Frye Field and later at Founders Park, rarely sitting down and often mingling with fans throughout games.
A decorated hard hat and suspenders were only part of what made him so recognizable.
