   Yawn. Boring.  I went to a number of Tiger games this year.  After a while
   you can really get tired of "The Wave".  Anyway I've been at games when there
   were 4 going at once, 2 going in opposite directions, and even a "Slow 
   Motion" wave (you stood up really slow) although that one never made it
   around the whole stadium.  These were done in both the upper and lower
   decks at the same time, although sometimes they get a little out of sync.

   When "The Wave" got boring, the "bleacher creatures" would divide into
   2 groups and yell yell "great taste" or "less filling" at each other.
   Sometimes almost the entire crowd (40000+) would flap there hands like 
   a bird, or make other animated (not obscene) gestures that looked really
   wild when you see the whole stadium do it.  Of course the "bleacher
   creatures" would always start it up.

   I sure has been a great year for Detroit.  Too bad I had to move.
   I had to give up my tickets for the September Baltimore and Toronto 
   series.  I bought them in almost 3 months ahead of time, and the best 
   I could get was in the upper deck in right field. They weren't too hard
   to sell, though.
