[It's a quick trip to the Bay Area this week for an archive fan favorite from 2017, featuring a true American sports original!]
America's most famous professional sports cheerleader "Krazy" George Henderson (Still Krazy After All These Cheers) joins Tim Hanlon to discuss some of the wackiest adventures from his 40+ years of live performances – and how a self-described shy, mediocre schoolteacher ultimately followed his passion to a unique and storied career converting passive game-day attendees into cheering fanatics.
Henderson (along with his signature drum!) recounts how a school field trip to an Oakland Seals NHL hockey game led to his first sustaining professional gig; describes how he and the NASL's San Jose Earthquakes changed the face of professional soccer in the mid-1970s; recalls how his success with the NFL's Houston Oilers almost led to banishment from performing at pro football games; and breaks down the chronology of the formative elements of his most famous in-stadium creation – The Wave.
