Why do people get so excited when The Wave starts at a ball game? If you are paying attention to The Wave it means you aren’t paying attention to the game.

Case in point. Margaret and I were in Pittsburgh this weekend to see the Cubs. It is Saturday night and they are playing to an almost sold out crowd. It is 2-2 in the top of the 6th, the Cubs have a runner on second and a chance to take the lead. And The Wave starts.

Now I know that baseball isn’t a very fast moving game. It has been compared to watching paint dry. But there are plenty of boring parts during the game in which you can do The Wave. But not during what may be the most exciting part of the game…. Sigh….
