I mean the announcers say stuff like "he just stuck it in", "he put it throught the uprights". Just listen sometime with a critical attitude, and assess just how "dirty" some of it sounds.

When I was looking this up, I found the Germans mentioned a lot, but I'm not entirely convinced either. I also saw something that claimed it was a Victorian tradition, which suggests British heritage, but I doubt that too. Actually, I think the most likely explanation is someone made a bunch of pickle ornaments and made up a story to sell them. ;-) Cool, thanks for the link, Gesikah!

My dad's family is German and we have done it as long as I can remember. I tried to find some info about it, but didn't find much, but it seems to be a perhaps German-American tradition. Perhaps stemming from one of the German communities up North (MI) where they also hold pickle festivals and such. Here is a page claiming to debunk the traditional belief that it is a old German legend: <a href="http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/pickle.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.serve.com/shea/germusa/pickle.htm</a> My family actually observes this tradition.
