In times of crisis, he would leap off his Hollywood director's chair stationed next to the bench and fall on his knees-or tear off his jacket and stomp on it. In more joyful moments, he would dance the boogaloo and even lead the crowd in cheers. To confuse opponents, he once had his players switch jersey numbers.

Berryman's father committed suicide and the memory of that event sharply marks poems such as "Tampa Stomp" and "Old Man Goes South Again Alone." The lines from a poem called "No" are very explicit, when Berryman claims that "I faint for some soft & solid & sudden way out as quiet as hemlock in that Attic prose."
