Fans wear beer hats during a bases-loaded situation while Arkansas plays Mississippi State on Saturday, April 20, 2019, in Fayetteville.
FAYETTEVILLE — Most college sports programs have well-established traditions like cheers, hand signals or fight songs that are observed from sport to sport.
But within each fan base, sport-specific traditions can emerge, and baseball gravitates toward some of the quirkiest.
In the SEC, baseball traditions include fans feeding the opposing team in left field at Mississippi State; blowing bubbles at Texas A&M and throwing cups of beer in the air at Ole Miss after the home team hits a home run; and the infamous Vanderbilt whistlers.
