Hey look, it’s Krazy George! Cracked.com ran an article titled “5 Sports Fans Who Ruined Sports” and coming in at number 4 was Krazy George. What did Krazy George ruin? Apparently the sanity of head coaches of most sporting teams.

According to the article Krazy George invented “The Wave” at a 1981 American League championship game between the New York Yankees and Oakland A’s. George had seen some drunk Canadians start the wave a year before at a hockey game, but it took another year to finally get the crowd to finish the wave. According to the article, coaches do not like the wave and have even tried to reason with fans to get them to stop.

What does this have to do with the Earthquake? Not much actually, but the article does mention the Quakes and Krazy George, both pertinent to this blog. The article is a fun read as well, but Cracked is a potentially NSFW website, and the first entry in that list has a NSFW video associated with it. The entirety of the article is a good read though.

GO QUAKES!
