I don't think Bautista's celebration is anymore justified. Both show a lack of humility and a desire to show up the other team. The increase in that type of behavior among the "adults" is why you see it increase in the children/young adults.

Texas demonstrated last week they agree with you regarding showing up the other team. Seeing Bautista get drilled and punched in the face is likely to make a player less likely to be so flamboyant next time.

i don't have an issue with a MLBer admiring a no doubt about it homer. A little bat flip, ok. Bautista's bat flip may have been excessive. But I believe it was emotional spontaneity. I don't mind emotional spontaneity. I don't like the in game premeditated celebrations.

Maybe, someday after a great defensive play on the third out the fielder will run up to the guy who hit the ball and spike it at his feet.
