In the NFL, NBA or NHL, when a team clinches a playoff spot, they don't break out the champagne and go nuts in the locker room. In baseball, by the way, it's a clubhouse, in other sports it's a locker room. In hockey it is acceptable to use dressing room too.
When an NFL, NBA or NHL team wins a playoff series, they don't break out the champagne and go nuts in the locker room.
When an NFL, NBA or NHL team wins the championship, THEN they break out the champagne and go nuts in the locker room.
Baseball it's different. When a team clinches the division or the wild card, they break out the Champagne and go nuts in the clubhouse.
When they win the division series, they break out the champagne and go nuts in the clubhouse.
When they win the league pennant, they go nuts in the clubhouse.
And when a team wins the World Series, guess what? They breakout the champagne and go nuts in the clubhouse.
So, let's break it down. An NFL, NBA or NHL team has one champagne celebration in them and that is after winning the championship.
A baseball team that wins the World Series will have FOUR Champagne celebrations, all in the span of about a month.
Is it just me or do you find all these champagne celebrations excessive? Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, how about champagne celebrations after every win during the regular season and post-season. Shoot, what about practicing wild champagne celebrations after spring training wins. That is what spring training is for anyway, to prepare the team for the season and if champagne celebrations are part of it they need to practice it.
Seriously, these celebrations are getting played out and tedious and takes away from the what the real celebration should be...celebrating a World Series title.
