Let em play in their community softball leagues where they apologize after doing something well. It's part of the game. If they should be mad at anyone, it should be themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15731303174850668515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-72863830662832953512007-08-19T21:22:00.000-07:002007-08-19T21:22:00.000-07:00I've said before that I wish there was more trash-...I've said before that I wish there was more trash-talking. Have Manny go deep and yell out and point at the pitcher ("You see where that one went? ha ha!") And pitchers could call out to hitters after they struck out or as they ran back across the infield to the dugout.<BR/><BR/>That would make for a more lively game. We'd just have to keep the beanballs and brawls to a minimum.allanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673233312198832937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-83908616449050112292007-08-19T21:18:00.000-07:002007-08-19T21:18:00.000-07:00I totally agree with the question; if pitchers can...I totally agree with the question; if pitchers can pump their fists and yell and scream after they strike someone out, which a lot of them do, (Weaver, F-Rod) why can't batters also gloat and taunt after they hit a homerun? Do these grown men really have their feelings hurt that easily? Just to be fair I don't care if pitchers celebrate either, I'm just amazed at the hypocricy and utter ridiculous sensitivity that these "professional" althletes possess. It reminds me of how pro golf players and tennis players can't be bothered by crowd noise because they get "distracted." <BR/><BR/>In baseball I hear the announcers discuss "Oh wow, he may have spent a little too much time admiring that homer." <BR/><BR/>You Kidding me????
