[edit] Disputed
There is significant and cited dispute on whether Krazy George Henderson really did invent the wave. See Audience wave for more details. None of this dispute is listed here, though, which is why I added the disputed tag.
- Did you read this paragraph?
- In the summer of 2000, supporters of the University of Washington demanded that Krazy George's website be taken down, as they claimed to have invented the wave at their homecoming game against Stanford University in 1981. However, as that game took place on October 31, more than two weeks after the A's/Yankees game, Krazy George has refused to remove his site, and continues to claim the invention of the wave.

- Heh. That'll teach me to add tags before my morning tea. Thanks for clearing that up. --Yamla 22:35, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
That kind of wikipedian cooperation and admittance of fault warms the cocles (is it cocles? cockles?) of my heart. Wikipedia rocks.
I think it is really important that this article doesn't ever say things like "Krazy George invented "the wave" or "then the first wave circled the stadium". We can say that Krazy George is "often credited as the inventor of the wave", but it is important to always qualify this statement as things like "the wave" almost NEVER actually have a single inventor, but rather have people who popularize them.
[edit] needs to die
And soon. I hate this man, I hate his drum at San Jose Giants games? Does he have some mental disorder or something? :-) I can't believe he has a wikipedia page. he ruins games and needs to shut the spork up now. Electricbassguy 22:57, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
