How the High Five Was Invented (and What Baseball and Gay Pride Have Got to Do With It)

Alex •


The world's first documented high five occurred between Dusty Baker and Glenn Burke of the Los Angeles Dodgers on October 2, 1977 at the Dodger Stadium

High five!

Did you ever wonder why we started giving high fives to each other and how it began in sports but made its way to become a symbol of gay pride and identification?

Our pal Today I Found Out explored the life of Glenn Burke, the first openly gay Major League Baseball player, who was credited for "inventing" and popularizing high five in 1977. Watch it on YouTube:

It's an old fashioned "Cheater Seat". Used by 3 people who have a love interest partner on each side of themselves. They can hold hands with one person w/o the other person knowing about it at all. Unless, of course, the cheater seat is in a room with mirrors. Then you're just busted.

It's the rare, hated, legendary "Irish Clover Stand" - also known as the "Irish Stood-up" - used as a replacement for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow by Leprechauns who were a wee bit short of cash. It was used for centuries until paper IOUs (being much lighter and easier to carry) came into fashion...

It's the new and improved Tripe Strike Bowling Ball Stand - just put a rug underneath and it'll tie the whole room together. The Dude approves.
