Adding flair and fire is fine with this 60-year-old...I just don't want to get to the point were taunting is tolerated...that's garbage!
I have never been one to believe in extended celebrations - at the plate -or anywhere else.
I keep going back to The Bard for advice...'The play is the thing'.
Tim Duncan & Barry Sanders come to mind when I think of professionalism.

The frequent excuse is 'it's a young man's game'. That's fine, but those instant millionaires need to show respect for those who came before - they would not be making so much if thousands before them had NOT made so much...THOSE guys made the game watchable.
