Mitch Voit, a Michigan baseball player, publicly apologized on Twitter for a controversial gesture after hitting a triple against USC, where he humorously transformed third-base chalk into a line of cocaine. The apology reflects Voit's recognition of the immaturity of his actions, yet some argue that such creativity in celebration should be embraced. Many feel that his gesture highlights the need for more colorful expressions in a sport often limited to traditional celebrations, encouraging Voit to continue being amusing and inventive on the field.
I would like to apologize for my actions on third base yesterday. I made an immature decision in the heat of the moment. The gesture I made does not reflect my character.
Frankly, this is not something Voit should be apologizing for. A sport in which celebrations are generally limited to bat-flips... could use more creative boasting.
