AL Wild Card Game: Astros @ Yankees

[Spanky99]

All the majors sports have a "code" about what constitutes acceptable or non-acceptable celebration. I'm not so sure that baseball is really all that different. I don't really watch football anymore but the NFL used to be a lot worse than baseball on this by actually enforcing unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and the like. At least baseball has the sense to just let this between the players and doesn't hand out sanctioned reprimands for it.

 

The NFL is still like that... you can spike the ball open your arms etc, but if you rub it in the opponents face, automatic 15 yard penalty.

I have a simple reaction to the celebration issue:

 

I am ok with it when I my team does it because I am happy. I am pissed off when someone does it to us because I am sad/angry = normal Bi-polar sports fan.

 

Seriously though....its the norm now and I don't mind it either way as long as its not too over the top.

 

Same, part of the game now.
