left-right
a baseball heckle used by fans of the pitcher against a batter who has just struck out
"Left! Right! Left! Right! ..." (for each step of the batter as he walks back to the dugout)
Followed by a "Step!" for each step of the dugout that the batter must walk down, and then a "Sit Down!" when the steps are completed
This heckle is also used at basketball games when an opposing player fouls out
