Prince Bomb HR Celebration

[pebadger]

Looks like some of the kids at the LLWS copied the Prince celebration. How will Carpenter explain THAT?

Lord help them if they were playing a Northern California team.

Obviously they aren't from Missouri!

Classy celebration. Nicely done, LL'ers!

 

NESN story, with video. That's probably the most biased video title I've ever seen with a news or sports piece.

#4 apparently was not in on the pre-planned celebration. That was pretty funny, though.

Those kids are despicable. Trying to enjoy themselves while playing a baseball game. Poor Chris Carpenter.

Oh man, someone's getting beaned in preseason!

Did the Rhode Island manager complain that the sun was not as bright when they were up to bat? ;-)

Maybe next time wait to do that until after you know you won the game.

oh this is so fantastic on so many levels; Prince must be proud. I really love this and can't wait to link it to my FBB league's main page. But first...

I've been wondering what they are planning next... and I though dominos would be cool. What if all the players ran out and lined up in a queue starting at the third base bag and spaced out equidistantly to home plate (prince is rounding 2nd at this point)... when Prince touches 3rd each player falls over into the next guy and the cascade matches Prince's slo-mo trot pace to the plate. If only to make La Russa launch into an epileptic seizure (of course of course that he came out of 1 hour later no harm done of course of course) would this be worth it.

Awesome video. As the kids are running out of the dugout you can see one of them does the Monsters Inc. thing too.

I like the title of the video: NETHERLANDS LLWS BAD SPORTSMANSHIP

 

God, people need to pull their panties out of their wad.

#4 must be David Weathers' grandson.

From Bruce Bochy's blog:

 

"Little League Team Europe, congratulations on your futile home run, and your celebration was just cute as the dickens! If any of you little miscreants ever find your way to the Major Leagues, you might want to skip spring training. The memory of a Giant is inversely proportional to the thickness of his skin.

 

Yours,

B. Bochy"

 

And from Chris Carpenter's Blog:

 

"Little League Team Europe, you demonstrated poor sportsmanship and disrespected the GAME OF BASEBALL with your home run celebration. Your little heads are still developing, but when they are bigger and older, and if you make your way into the Major Leagues, I will DRILL some respect into your heads. (NOTE: DRILL here is a double entendre. I can't tell you what it means. You'd know what it meant if you were a secret member of the Baseball Ettiquette Keepers Club.

 

Carp.

 

P.S. I realize I mispelled 'etiquette' but it's not proper for you to point it out. I can 'DRILL' all day. Keep it up."

 

 

 

This is scary. Also, I found out that the Cardinals have a secret police squad set up that goes around the world adminstering baseball justice. Sort of a star chamber to keep players in line. The Cardinals really take this stuff seriously.
