Baseball is a totally different sport, it is a gentlemens game.
Guys dont do dances when they hit hrs like they do in football when a WR scores a TD. You trying to compare what Champman did to what a football player would do is just wrong and a horrible comparision. They are two different sports and totally different.

Like I said before, I don't buy that. Baseball is not on a pedestal for me. Pete Rose, the Blacksocks, and steroids has shown this sport deals w/ issues like any other sport. And in any other sport they celebrate. Golf, you have guys tossing a club in the air and dropping to their knees. Isn't that supposed to be a gentlemen sport? You can't even cheer most of the time during golf lol. Every other sport that's not frowned upon like it is in baseball. I'm sorry, I want the guys I root for to show emotion and have no problem if they do a little more than a fist pump.

It may just be different for me b/c I don't look at baseball as this pure sport, it's just another sport to me.

Again, you just dont get it.
Its not a put down at all aimed at you.
But you simply dont get it at all.
Even his own team mates had a huge problem with it.
As soon as they reached the club house Votto and Bruce had a very serious talk with him.

It's just two different schools of thought. Some want their guys to be classy and act like they've been there before, while others want to see the celebrations. And each to varying degrees.

I lie somewhere in between. I don't mind a guy getting pumped up, but the somersaults were just stupid.

I think Shiz gets it, but he doesn't understand why it's this way. There's just something old school about baseball that some want to keep alive while others want to modernize it. Just look at the replay debate.

Let's break up these freakin' Giants!

Yea, this is what I was trying to say. Appreciate it.

Great game by Mike Leake.

I'm glad the Reds turned things around last night after that measley perfomance on Thursday night.
