#DeathToTheWave or #KeepOnWavin: That cheer we love to hate

TCB’s resident protector of baseball etiquette and nitpicker of fan life, Terri Schlather, takes on one of baseball’s biggest controversies – no, not the umps, not the designated hitter, not the balk or timers for pacing of a game, not reviewable plays or balls and strikes, …but the Wave.

If you’re already familiar with my thoughts around etiquette in a baseball park and have read either my introductory rules or the follow-up, you know that the wave is not something I will ever encourage at a baseball game. In fact, do it while the home team in on defense and I will get irate.
