Does anyone else think...

This team sucks. That said, it's ridiculous that anyone would criticize a celebration after a walkoff win. Just my two cents.

Not only that ....... but Ozzie Guillen, of all people, is not exactly know for his cool, calm, collected demeanor.

Ozzie Guillen isn't happy unless he has something to be pissed about.

Has anyone ever seen a walk-off home run in any MLB game where the team did not jump around a couple times at home plate and high-five?

Yes, EVERY game before like 1995 or so. Just because everyone does it, does not make it right. I don't even recall when walk -off became a term. It certainly wasn't one when I was growing up, in my 20's or 30's. Ok, so this shows one thing for sure. I am old. I agree with Sean that the walk off celebrations are excessive. But you are correct, all teams do it, the Orioles are no different. They are all over the top. I think his point is, maybe after you have had 15 straight losing seasons, you might want to low key it a bit.

I believe that it originated and/or started to become used regularly in October of 1996, when Bernie Williams hit the game-winning home run off of us in the bottom of the 12th inning of Game One of the 1996 ALCS.
