For over a century of baseball, a home run looked something like this: A ball was hit over the fence, and its author jogged quickly around the bases with his head down so as not to show up the pitcher.
Now, home runs are exclamation points, bat flips and fiestas on the base paths. And the party doesn’t stop when home plate is touched. The fun extends to the dugout, where the homering player’s teammates are waiting to revel in the glory of going yard.
