absolutely not. being a young kid with so much hype and all eyes on you in the big apple, there are so many demands. it forces you to be bigger than you really are because your career and your personal life is bombarded and you have no privacy. if you demonstrate a quiet demeanor about you and you become a hermit in this big baseball town there isnt much of a problem with that (maybe a little) but the important thing is that you perform well because if you dont, you better believe youre out the door. Lastings Milledge played in several games and he wasnt quite an impact right off the bat, so seeing him finally turn it around had to feel good for him and the fans. if anything, he deserved this big game which was the turning point to success because it was not only expected of him, it is how good this kid actually is and im glad he celebrated as he did because his presence was felt and he proved to those people that rushed their criticism that he is real is he is here to stay.

How so?? Doesn't he have a multitude of role models who over-celebrate to bring attention to themselves under the pretense of celebration? Pro football has so many of these self-servers, it's difficult to list them all. And then baseball has Roger Clemens!! So why blame a young player who is just imitating those around him.

No. I hate the Mets but found his celebration refreshing.

No. Baseball needs to be good to the fans. He was enjoying his moment with his fans, the veteran players and media that tripped over this should settledown and not overreact
