One of the things that makes baseball such a great sport is the individuality it gives players and teams, from the Arizona Diamondbacks arrow shooting to the Los Angeles Dodgers bat licking.
The list of things that make the game fun is endless. From J.D. Martinez’s walk up song to Fernando Rodney’s arrow pose after a save, the Diamondbacks have a unique character. Most teams do.
No one is arguing against fun. Literally, no one.
Well, maybe the NFL, but even that’s getting better.
Sure, criticizing a bat flip after drawing a walk sounds like the fun police, but let’s be absolutely clear: baseball is a game and it’s all about fun.
