First saw him at the 1994 FIFA World Cup at Stanford Stadium. 30 years later, he is still going strong.

[@jph4852]

I went to the Brazil-Cameroon match that year. It was a BLAST!

[@wilderac2250]

I never knew what the origin of the wave was until now. Thank you Krazy George for your contribution.

[@electronic-chronic]

BAY AREA LEGEND!

[@apwkastmaster2096]

😊 💯

[@ronaldmcdonald3965]

Wow. 50 years. I somehow remember him from the late 70s.........

[@MikeCee7]

Seems like a great guy. but I always thought the wave was invented by some college in the Pacific Northwest. (I guess I heard wrong)

[@praiserdusty]

What will happen to his legacy. Will Oakland do something to commemorate his legacy. I mean to make an impression on sports worldwide needs a world wide recognition some how ya know. Base all hall of famer for sure if not already there

[@iamalden]

Jean shorts? JORTS! GO KRAZY GEORGE!

[@DbeeM]

Legend!

[@privatepenguin3137]

...and about two months later...the wave was uncool.

[@bury1]

The wave was invented at Husky Stadium in Seattle by Rob Weller.

[@Haterade420]

Rob Weller invented it, not that crazy old man.

[@scottcampbell9515]

I don't say this lightly. God bless this man.

[@pringlized]

Absolutely awesome!!!!! Thank you for bringing back Crazy George. He was a hero for me as a kid in the 80's

[@privatepenguin3137]

Didn't he used to play a banjo also?

[@kemblephotography]

So cool! I had no idea how "the wave" started. Krazy George IS a legend...

[@kenmello2808]

Before the A’s he was a main stay at Oakland Seals games. He’s had 1/2 of the arena yelling “Seals”, followed by the other side of the arena going “Ooh Ooh”. Surprised the Sharks didn’t use him.

[@brgillenwater]

The wave might have been invented in Oakland so you feel obligated to do it but don't. The A's lost that game against the Yankees on October 15, 1981 3-0. For the 20th win in a row we blew a 11-0 lead while the wave was going but got the walk-off once it stopped. It's bad luck, cheer for the players, pay attention to the game, and not to some guy getting paid to be there.

[@murrieta49]

LA stole the wave

[@joeycalendar3122]

LEGEND 🥃

[@Zark_Moneybags69]

Oakland collesium is a better stadium than dodger stadium... this is facts

[@kevingutierrez6845]

Based

[@ocana80]

And yet Dodgers fans will never have to worry about dodgers leaving. At least our management makes sure that the stadium is kept up to date and we will never have to worry about counting down the days till the final game before they disappear.

[@daveclark8337]

You can still see the football hashmarks running across the baseball outfield.

[@oiler62]

The A's unique culture at the Coliseum is 2nd to none. Not only Krazy George but MC Hamner was a batboy and assistant to Charlie Finley and Debbie Fields was a ball girl in the early 70s. The job as a teen helped launch her cookie business .

[@daltonsband]

Tom Hanks was a peanut slinger!

[@erich84502b]

😂😅

[@LeafararrabiDos09]

It was invented in Mexico😂😂😂not by this guy that’s why it’s called the Mexican wave from soccer way before this man did it

[@MIKEDOMO]

The Wave started in Mexico 🇲🇽.

[@trainwreck9567]

So it's this guy's fault. Lol. F the wave.

[@805fillmore]

The wave was started at dodgers stadium in LA. Nice try Diddy.

[@adamNDkipker]

THE (WAVE) AT SPORTING IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN, I REFUSE TO PARTAKE IN THIS!!!

[@Canucks44219]

You also won't partake in the proper use of brackets. If the wave is the dumbest thing you've seen you need to get out more. Yet here you are watching videos of things you dislike. Ppl are weird.

[@jamesmorris5537]

A's leaving Oakland for one reason and one reason only....Oakland is now a 3rd world DUMP!!!

[@oiler62]

Nope, greedy owner looking for a handout.

[@GWDell]

Both

[@NathanMoist]

St. Louis is an extremely dangerous city and yet it is baseball heaven. Philly not far behind.

[@oiler62]

@@NathanMoist agreed, they love their Cardinals, always strong support but the place is a bit rough like the O.
