Krazy George Henderson, The Man Who Created ‘The Wave’ 34 Years Ago in Oakland, California
by Scott Beale from Laughing Squid on (#F57P)
KQED produced a wonderful profile about uber-cheerleader Krazy George Henderson, the man who created the ubiquitous sports cheer "The Wave" (where fans stand up in unison, raising their arms and cheering around a stadium in a "wave") 34 years ago on October 15, 1981 at a home game between the Oakland Athletics and the New York Yankees at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
As KQED points out, across the Bay, San Francisco Giants fans are not so "Krazy" about "The Wave".
