The neurotic and eccentric baseball player is always in constant need for the lack of attention they feel as baseball like the fourth sport now in America and followed by no one aside form connected giveaway corporate families and old retired people with gray hair. The modern baseball player is neurotic and eccentric developing years of honing and acquiring a skill that gets you no where in life unless a professional baseball high salaried career as determined by the same folks that determined WEWork and Adam Neumann were worth 40 billion and the loser charlatan executive demanding of a 1.7 billion payout. The paralles between the two industries of organized sports and organized
fraudulent hedge funds is similar and baseball is far going the rout of these rogue players caring little about tradition. The Houston Astros are playing the Washington Nationlaists and in this boring World Series two players decided to break with tradition and cockily walked to first base with a hard on attacked to them carrying a baseball bat that is not suppose to be protocol. In this selfie era where the spectacle of walk off home runs being over dramatized the odd behavior of these two ballplayers carrying a bat is just another odd step the millennial ball player is moving this sport. It is only a matter of time before a player walks and rounds the diamond with a selfie stick after hitting a home run or odd NFL theater practiced celebrations in Major League Baseball is also around the corner
when plays score or whatever. Juan Soto and Alex Bregman are trying to developed a new celebration aka NFL style for every score or big play and this will just not fly and will go foul. The Mid June walk off games are silly enough and the only celebration should be the first one I recall seeing as Bill Mazersoski did in the 1960 World Series and unless it is game 7 of a world series as this one there should really be no dramatic entire team around home player celebration style for an obscure game in August or April. That is just stupid and again the only walk off home run I recall
ever seeing was the 1960 game seven and even recalls kids rushing rushed the field to be one of the first to greet the hero something that would never be allowed nowadays by stringent strict security. One of the kids eerily looked like and may indeed have been Steve Bartman. There should be no home plate mass celebration for baseball unless it is a game seven series as seen in 1960. In the end the Washington Generals beat the Houston Astros and most of the nation paid little attention as 2019 offered much more entertainment visual television programming than it did I recall as a kid in 1960 and may explain while everyone did talk of these games in October.
