Hilda Chester

Perhaps the most famous fan in baseball history was a plump, pink-faced woman with a mop of stringy grey hair. Famous among Ebbets Field regulars, she would attend games with a frying pan and an iron ladle. Banging away on the frying pan from her seat in the bleachers, she made so much noise that everyone, including the players, noticed her. Dodger players in the late 1930s presented her with the first of her now-famous brass cowbells.
