world championship year. You are correct that it came to baseball
via U of M football (Bo Schembecler threatened to throw out all the
fans one game because his players could not here the signals during
the wave. Not to be stopped by this the fans invented the "silent
wave" (no yelling).) The Detroit newspapers claim to have traced
the source of the wave to two places, the U of Washington and the
U of Miami (fla). Both sites claim to have originated the idea.

   Being involved in the wave is a great time. It starts in the
upper deck bleachers in center field. As the wavers become more
experienced, you get such exciting events as "wave races" and 
"wave crashing". Actually, if your in Detriot and would like
to be involved in the best party in baseball, buy a bleacher
ticket to a Tiger game. You'll be treated to a great game, the
wave, and possibly a guest spot in a Lite beer commercial
(the bleachers split in half, one side is "tastes great" the other
is "less filling").

   Yes, there are good times to be had in tiger town!
