How Long Until You've Earned The Right?

The right to act like you're a big shot?

Last week, Yankees catcher, Francisco Cervelli, hit a home run against the Red Sox. It was his...wait for it...THIRD career home run. He performs a special clapping and stomping exercise as he crosses home plate.

So next at bat, Lackey plunks him. What does Francisco do? He heads for the mound. Come on.

Last night, Nyjer Morgan pulled another little stunt on the field, cussing and throwing chew at Chris Carpenter after getting blown away at the plate in a crucial, late-game, at bat.

If I remember correctly, he acted like a punk when he was in Washington as well.

In contrast, Albert Pujols has absolutely earned the right to be a big shot. I loved him sprinting across the field to defend his pitcher who did nothing wrong other than to be better than Nyjer Morgan.
