Here’s an easy way to judge your on-the-field celebration: see how the opposing team reacts. Using that metric, the Brewers’ “Boom We All Fall Down” celebration after Prince Fielder’s walk-off home run in the 12th inning yesterday scores an “All Sorts of Awesome,” because the Giants are all kinds of irked.
But to some Giants, they did not win with much class. They believe Milwaukee’s home-plate celebration after Prince Fielder’s game-winning home run crossed the line [...]“Did you see that celebration?” bench coach Ron Wotus asked. “You would like to think professionals would have a lot more respect for the game and their opponents. That was choreographed.”
