"Outfielders have a lot of time on their hands to be alone with their thoughts. The San Francisco Giants don't win a lot of baseball games. Put those two things together and you get magic. Erotic magic. The history of the outfield post-win celebration is short but storied. When a team closes out a win, that fielding triad will convene to revel in their victory. Often they high five; sometimes that involves jumping. Or they slam asses. Maybe they play rock-paper-scissors. They are limited only by their creativity, and the boundaries of good taste, and sometimes not even that."
"On Monday night, the Giants, winners of two straight and fresh off a big cross-California win over the Dodgers, felt like celebrating. Outfielders Drew Gilbert, Harrison Bader, and Jung Hoo Lee vigorously slammed into each other groin-first. I mean, they really got after it. "No comment on that," said Giants manager Tony Vitello. "They're a close-knit group, let's put it that way.""
"Now, sometimes when you're with the fellas and feeling good, you just need to wallop each other with your penises. Nothing weird about that. When I finish this blog I'm going to celebrate by bludgeoning David Roth with my pelvis. But this particular pelvic pummeling appears to be a natural evolution of the Giants outfield's celebrations this season, which started with a chaste hug and progressed to romance when Lee tried to make the other two kiss. Frankly, it'd be weird if they weren't bumping junk by now. "A lot of the winning teams, their personality comes out," Vitello said. "Those guys are all pulling it out of each other." Seems to me it's more like they're pushing it into each other."
"Alas, the celebration is a little too PG-13 for a PG sport. Vitello confirmed before Tuesday's game that "a message has been relayed" to the involved parties to knock it off. And indeed, after the Giants again beat the Dodgers last night, the outfield celebration was notably more som"
Outfielders often have time alone with their thoughts, and the Giants’ post-win outfield celebrations have become increasingly physical. After wins, the outfielders form a fielding triad to celebrate with high fives, jumping, and other creative interactions. Following a cross-California win over the Dodgers, Drew Gilbert, Harrison Bader, and Jung Hoo Lee engaged in vigorous groin-first contact. The manager responded with minimal commentary, describing the group as close-knit. The celebrations reportedly progressed from a chaste hug to attempts at kissing, and then to more explicit contact. The manager later confirmed that a message was relayed to stop the behavior, and subsequent celebrations were toned down.
