But at baseball games? In 2011? I was at a Red Sox game last night when the crowd in the right-field bleachers attempted to get a wave going. It never made its around the ballpark, despite repeated efforts.

Well, I was at Fenway last week, when the Wave actually DID go around.  At least three times.  So, your n=1 to prove something is not proof at all.
