The Diamondbacks continued their astonishing postseason run Tuesday night with a 4–2 win over the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Game 7 of the NLCS. Arizona will face the Rangers in the World Series beginning Friday.
If the D-Backs' victory wasn't surprising enough, their bold postgame celebration stunned many fans. Outfielder Alek Thomas punctuated the win by planting a National League Champions flag into the infield grass. That's a provocative move usually seen in football games.
Naturally, D-Backs fans loved the gesture, while other MLB fans viewed the flag-planting as disrespectful.
