You might remember this TV show that was on for a short time...

 

The crowd wave got it's start in mid October '81. A Cheerleader in Oakland got the baseball crowd to circle the stadium in unison... It was the first time the wave appeared at a major sporting event.. and the first time it was covered on TV... Ofcourse, we love a good crowd wave in Australia!
