I have to say, I'm not a huge believer in chemistry. I do think certain individuals can effect a team in a negative way, but I don't think the influence is so drastic in a positive way.
However, I think showing some excitement in a game can be a huge bonus. Maybe the players aren't effected so much for a guy jumping and cheering after sliding into second, but the crowd is definitely influenced. Then the crowd gets into it and I think a batter at the plate can gain some confidence (not to mention the opposing pitcher wilting a bit).
