Certain percentage of fan base snickers of is really pissed at the celebration. (Particularly if player has dreads or is wearing a doo rag.)

Reporter asks pitcher after the game if he was pissed at celebration.

Pitchers says "hell, he can celebrate however he wants. He hit a homerun.
Only thing I'm worried about is throwing a better pitch in that spot."

Fans getting their panties in a twist while fellow players shrug and say who cares.

This is the scenario I love:

Young guy with dreadlocks or doo rag hits homerun in a big spot, showboats a little going around the bases thus neglecting to touch second. Is thrown out.

I think this came up in the playoffs, but the base almost missed (HR upheld on review) was first base.

Rickey had some memorable postseason performances to.

Absolutely dominated in 1989 in both the Championship Series and the World Series.

In 1999, at age 40 with the Mets, in the Division Series against Arizona, he batted .400 and went 6 for 6 stealing bases.
