I’m sure plenty of women have been using their middle finger since the dawn of man

Bring back the era of big mustaches in baseball

Baseball is also responsible for the first known use of the high five.

Archers, right?
They would cut off their draw fingers when captured, and they would show their enemies their middle fingers to show em "frick you i still got mine"
Least thats what i always heard.
It doesnt even make sense that this pic would be the first known use. It would be a meaningless picture if it was. "Hey im gonna do this thing to the camera. It doesnt mean anything....yet. Lets see if takes off and the whole world gets it....one day haha!"
