I won’t spend too much time recounting all of their failures, as that’s already been reported on at length and I’m not a fan of kicking people when they’re already down, and will instead focus on one of the few things they have going their way: The home run shades! For anyone that’s been on the internet for a decent amount of time, you should be familiar with these shades as part of an ongoing “ thug life” meme. The Colorado Rockies are, and I can’t stress this enough, an abomination.
Send the Mets to the pits of Tartarus.Īlright, from here on out is nothing but love and appreciation. But to summarize: this “celebration” only makes it on the list due to its sheer notoriety.
Indeed, it’s the athlete doing a thumbs down gesture that’s the weak one, not the fans who throw a fit after one of their players dares to express himself. My request to everyone seeing this is to read “controversy” with the greatest hint of sarcasm imaginable, because I find it hilarious seeing fans, and Twitter folks with less than a thousand followers, calling Javier Báez “soft” after this relatively innocuous gesture. Jacob deGrom? Sweetie, we want you to stay healthy so badly! Your hiring practices? Atrocious? Steve Cohen? Please stop tweeting! Nobody needs a hedge fun billionaire referring to human beings as money investments! We already know that’s how you view people, that doesn’t mean you have to say it! Just stay out of the news for one day, please!īut one of the most cursed moments regarding the Mets this season was the whole “thumbs down” controversy. They have a penchant for not only disappointment in their play on the field, but for generating headlines about the most inane of topics. Let us not forget that, if not for the New York Jets and Knicks (until recently), the New York Mets could be the most cursed team in sports. Thumbs Down – New York Metsįine, detective, you caught me: this selection is just for the laughs. From hats, to chains, to (somehow) controversial hand gestures, it’s time to get weird. That’s why today we’ll be ranking eight of the most widely publicized celebration gimmicks teams have showcased this season. But even still, here at Just Baseball we like to celebrate the small victories baseball culture may still be hamstrung by analytics freaks and gatekeepers of fun, but it’s better than it used to be. Baseball still has a rampant culture problem, in a myriad of areas, and it’s simply just a matter of time until its next brain-worms-inducing story comes out.
