This might be a reference to the many lightning strikes that the area receives during the summer months. Other historians claim the name means "the place to gather sticks" thanks mook, i guess it makes sense then

Prospect Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 331 Location: Pennsylvania	#53 Posted: 2/15/2012 11:35:11 PM Believe it or not there was a single A baseball team in Battle Creek, MI where they had the locals "name the team". The people hands down picked the nickname the Battle Creek Golden Kazoos. I garbage you not. After enough embarassment they changed it to the Michigan Battle Cats, then the Battle Creek Yankees and then the Southwest Michigan Devil Rays. Some great players came through there. Johan Santana, Roy Oswalt, Shea Hillenbrand and numerous other big leaguers. Fun to watch.

Before the combine, wheat would be gathered by hand and left standing in groups called shocks of wheat. They would then be collected by truck. The people who did the manual work were wheat shockers. Wichita State being in wheat country the name is appropriate.
