In every other sport: hockey, soccer, football, basketball, there is some exciting play to watch which will cause the fans to forget about the wave just long enough for it to die. Not so in baseball. With the warm-up after each half-inning, the batter tapping his cleats and readying his stance, the pitcher scratching himself, the seemingly unending stream of foul balls, there is plenty of time for the fans to follow along with the wave. Even the baseball fanatics who keep score during the game have time to follow. So I say thank you to baseball for providing and sustaining the wave. I hope everyone will go out and participate in it.

Pawlenty). They'll get my money... when I buy season tickets!Scott Hondlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052873809632990213noreply@blogger.com
