Men will be boys
In the wake of Sunday's little dust-up, if you want to call it that, between the Orioles' Aubrey Huff and the Yankees' Joba Chamberlain, a question crosses my mind.
When did sports stop being fun?
In case you didn't see what happened, the normally demonstrative Chamberlain, who's been criticized in the past for his antics, gave up a home run to the normally reserved Huff. As he rounded the bases, Huff gave off two first pumps for Chamberlain to see -- the first as he was rounding first and the second he touched home.
It was a clear shot at Joba.
I'm not in favor of over-the-top celebrations, but when it comes to Joba or Frankie Rodriguez or Jonathan Papelbon, at least those are natural and not intended to show up an opposing player. I have never seen any of those players pointing or glaring at an opponent while celebrating.
In Huff's case, showing up his opponent WAS his intent.
I've seen enough local high school and college games to see that raw celebration and that raw celebration is good.
Can't we let grown men be boys sometimes.
