The Fist Pump Issue


Ok I'm going to settle the Joba fist pump issue once and for all because I'm tired of hearing about it everyday. First off he is a 21 year old kid with tons of emotion. He is not showing anyone up. If he was showing people up he would point at them or stare at them or his team's bench. I don't see anything wrong with it. Has anyone seen K-Rod for the Angels after he gets a save. He acts like he won the world series. No one says anything about that. It is just another example of people hating on New York. If you don't think so then prove me wrong. New York fans want two things from their players. Winning and playing with passion. He does both and is hated for it. The best thing is that he will not succumb to the pressure. He says he will continue to do it. Good. Don't change who you are.

this kid is special and we have to remember he is still a kid. Think about when you were a kid playing ball. Don't try to tell me that you never showed emotion at any point. If you love the game that much then you should be passionate about it. Never be afraid to show emotion. it makes you look like a human to the fans. It makes it look like you care. This kid cares. This kid will be special. This kid is a Yankee.
