Watching the game tonite, David Bell of the Giants hit a homer, and sped around the bases and didn't stop until he got to the dugout. He didn't stroll back to the dugout. What a refreshing sight to see a guy not hotdog it! I would have like to see someone do that to Bob Gibson in the 60's. Showboating has become an accepted part of the sporting landscape, but it doesn't mean that I have to like it. Where did "class" go to? Hotdogging seems to be putting one's achievements ahead of the team, but that just way things are nowadays.Am I just an old fart for thinking this way?
