A reminder: Home runs are awesome and should be celebrated as such.
And so if you want to take your time running the bases or giving a special high five or whatever, that should be a good thing.
In the case of this Marcell Ozuna home run and subsequent celebration, the Philadelphia Phillies’ radio booth didn’t agree. After the Atlanta Braves slugger hit one out on Thursday, he did a little low-five celebration with beloved third base coach Ron Washington. It is VERY worth noting that Washington does this type of celebration with everyone on the Braves, so it’s not extra or anything.
Yet, the Phillies announcers were not amused: “They’re going to stop in the middle of the third base line … that’s a joke. Ron Washington, that’s just not professional. Stopping in the middle of the third base line so they can do a little hand dance.”

If you don’t want to see the little hand dance, I would simply not give up long bombs. https://t.co/zmuHZi8P19
