Z
It's called the "Zoltan," and it's spreading through Pittsburgh like wildfire.
The Pirates watched Dude, Where's My Car? during a road trip to Atlanta in late April and have since adopted the cult leader Zoltan's hand sign as their official big-play signal. (edit) The sign is made with the left hand on top, right on the bottom, touching extended thumbs to resemble a Z. That shows a Z to other people, if you put the right hand on top you are backwards and showng it to yourself. Since this original answer was posted there has been a barrage of Z (zoltan) merchandise, homemade signs, and the like in the stands. (2012)
