“Raise the chairs”

how did “RAISE THE CHAIRS” become a thing?

Well, in 2016 pitcher, Max Compton, was hanging out in the bullpen. After the Pickles scored a run and "We like to Party!" started playing, he decided to raise up his chair above his head and start dancing. He says it was purely spontaneous, but it soon spread throughout the bullpen, then to the dugout, then the Pickles fanbase. Once superfans Nana & Lance (Section 104 represent!) brought in homemade chair signs...well, you know the rest. Now, every time the pickles score, grab the nearest chair (whether someone is in it or not) and raise that baby like you’ve never raised a chair before. GO PICKLES!!!
