I’m thinking that perhaps Jake Rogers didn’t “drop the ball” on coming up with a new home run celebration. Perhaps he thought the whole idea was bogus and he didn’t want do it. So this is just one more reason to like Jake, aside from the mustache.
I was paying attention to that too, but at the Rockies game the seats behind home plate were totally packed, but I don’t know if they have the same thing going that the Tigers have directly behind home plate.
That Orioles home run celebration with the hat is completely undignified, and doesn’t come close to running through the dugout with plush pizzas skewered on a stake.
I’m glad nobody drove all the way from the Upper Peninsula to Detroit to take their children to their first major league game at Comerica Park where they would have to witness this. Thank God it’s happening in Baltimore.
Yeah, smile now, smile now Baltimore Orioles because tomorrow we will beat you up as well as your friends steal your lunch money and puncture the tires on your bike!
Maybe I’ve made a mistake by depending upon a baseball team to provide for me with entertainment and a feeling of accomplishment. Perhaps I should withdraw from socially constructed entertainments and begin a new life with new horizons and possibilities entirely my own.
Never mind. Maybe it has something to do with crossing over the three-dimensional strike zone the umpire is working with instead of the two dimensional box we see on TV. Whatever.
The umpire behind the plate did not blow a single call during the Meadows at bat. It’s probably too early to hold a parade celebrating, but it was just nice not to start out being pissed off.
