I personally subscribe to the Walter Payton and Barry Sanders theory of "act like you've been there before" mode of celebrations. Yes, I understand it's a different sport--yet it has a place in baseball.
Sammy Sosa hops after every homerun. Barry Bonds stands and gazes lovingly at each blast. Act like you've been there before, gentlemen. Sosa and Bonds are 2 of the greatest home run hitters of all-time, so you think they would be used to it by now.
If it's a game winner in extra innings, like Pujols, I understand a little more of a celebration. However, if the game isn't on the line, or if it isn't a 500 foot blast, or if it isn't a record breaking homerun....JUST RUN THE DAMN BASES.
Act like you've been there before.
