Lets "shock" The Baseball World!!

I really think Wichita should change their logo and mascot...I'm not going to post a pic, but I assume most know what I am talking about ;).

I actually have seen a team picture (BB) where the cheerleaders (male and female) are giving a "shocker" welcome. Those who know will understand what it means. It was on the web and an official team photo. Don't know how it got past the censors. One of those Jaw dropping moments.

Bison bounced into a double play with 1 out in the 2nd inning to get nothing. But came back with a run in the 3rd inning, and have the based loaded again with 2 outs.

This made me laugh. I'm pretty sure I'm just a 12 year old boy trapped in a 30 year old man's body.

Just use 'IMG' in the tags instead of 'URL' or if you're clicking on the buttons above the text box- click on the one that slightly resembles a postcard, three buttons to the right of the insert link button (the little earth with a chain link button)

I remember back in high school one of my classmates went out and gathered some money and bought about 100 of those giant shocker hands for our student section. Of course after a parent went online to see what the giant hand meant they didn't last long, good times though.

The Shockers are also known for the hand gesture used by many students and fans, often confused with the popular culture hand gesture known as the shocker. This hand gesture is held up during free throws and three point shots at basketball games. The hand gesture referred to as "The Shocker" in popular culture today is actually a different formation all-together from the one used for many years by WSU's cheer squads, players and fans, although this fact is lost on those not associated with WSU athletics. The student body and cheer squad at WSU started dropping the use of the thumb in WSU's hand gesture around the time that the sexually-connotated gesture was gaining popularity, causing many people to draw a correlation between the WSU hand gesture and "The Shocker" sexual hand gesture. Since that time the administration of the school has strongly discouraged the flashing of the hand gesture without the use of the thumb by fans and students. For the most part this has been adhered to, causing the traditional WSU shocker hand gesture to be restored to its previous formation and meaning, which was nothing more than a hand formation in the form of the letter "W".

Thank you for the information. I do notice the lack of thumb in the photos (except for the big yellow hand). Still funny though! And welcome to the board

[WSU_Alum]

No problem, but I do agree its a hilarious conicidence.:p
