It was basically 2 waves for it to be fair. It was less than 2 seconds. Happened so fast. -- nm - CQ May 16, 15:35
I had to watch this on YouTube. I've seen more exuberant displays in cricket. -- nm - Roger More May 16, 14:12
I think the "rules" on home run celebrations are stupid. You don't want them to celebrate? Don't let them hit a home run. Otherwise, be my guest. -- nm - pmb May 16, 14:08
i would say no, especially because i never have ever heard anyone say it was, and the culture in the seventies was such that.... - x May 16, 13:57
I would say no...it was a celebration...not a showing up of the other team. -- nm - Will Hunting May 16, 13:52
Joy at the pinnacle is allowed, everyday homer will get you beaned -- nm - budice May 16, 13:52
I'm not sure. Are these rules written down anywhere? -- nm - Mop May 16, 13:51
I would say no since it was the bottom of the 12th in the World Series. -- nm - Ender May 16, 13:51 4
- the way the Bautista homer happened in that particular game totally merited a bat flip - senor dentista May 16, 13:54 2
  - Following the rules is f***ing them? -- nm - Will Hunting May 16, 13:56 1
    - yes -- nm - senor dentista May 16, 14:01
- This. -- nm - amoxy May 16, 13:53

Nope... - Mel Profit May 16, 13:50
no, but I am sure Reggie Jackson would have been called out on a few of his homers. -- nm - groiny May 16, 13:50 4
- Reggie got tons of shit, to my understanding. -- nm - Reagen May 16, 14:02 3
  - Yeah, and he loved every moment of it. He was the king hot dog. - Will Hunting May 16, 14:03 2
    - hehe, reggie jackson. he certainly was. and he sure stands and watches this one, but who can blame him? -- (link) - x May 16, 14:08 [youtube] 1
      - I hadn't seen that one in a long long time. - Will Hunting May 16, 14:10
nah, nor was Gibby -- nm - ÜMLaut May 16, 13:49 8
- I much as I disliked Gibson's (Because he was on the hated Dodgers), it was a classic and nobody would think they were upstaged -- nm - amoxy May 16, 13:54 6
  - You'd have a hard time making the case that Bautista's wasn't the same - Reagen May 16, 14:05 5
    - I had no problem with Bautista's bat flip. I have a big problem with people making Odor a hero - amoxy May 16, 14:09

      - he has a chip on his shoulder, from being held back for years. - groiny May 16, 14:09 2
        
        How many years is he going to carry that chip around? -- nm* - Krusty May 16, 14:11 1
        
        until he retires probably. It motivates him, and he has said as much. -- nm - groiny May 16, 14:11
- I don't think Gibson's was since he was hurt. Fisk is a yes for me. -- nm - David's iPad May 16, 13:50
