Anyway, what's the scoop with giving Milledge from the Mets such a hard time about his giving some fans high-fives after hitting his first home run? He's getting it from both the Giants players and his own manager for not following baseball's "unwritten rules". What I heard, after the inning was over, he high-fived some fans on his way out to the field. He didn't hold up the game, he didn't do it on camera, and he didn't make it all that obvious. But yet there's talk about him getting thrown at if he would continue to do it. Geeze, how is that worse than the players who stand at the plate and watch it go, or take 5 minutes to walk around the bases. That isn't showing up anyone? (grumpy old guy = off)
I haven't heard this story yet. I wonder when the Giant pitchers are gonna start taking a hard line with this grand-standing, supersized-hot-dog egomaniac?
