The Classics: High Fives, Helmet Flips, and a Dash of Gatorade
Let's start with the tried-and-true. There's always the epic high five as the hero rounds third, the satisfying bat flip that leaves everyone wondering if it'll land in McCovey Cove (spoiler alert: usually not), and the inevitable Gatorade shower courtesy of a jubilant teammate. These are the staples, the foundation upon which all great home run celebrations are built.
The Signature Moves: Unveiling the "Inner Weirdo"
But the Giants? They like a little extra. We've seen Brandon Crawford's fist pump that could launch a rocket, Buster Posey's (retired legend, but we can dream!) stoic bat tap, and Evan Longoria's legendary deep-fried chicken strut (don't ask, it's glorious). These personalized celebrations are what make Giants home runs truly special.
Tip: Slow down at important lists or bullet points.
Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for rookies. They often have the most outrageous celebrations, desperate to prove their place in the Giants' inner circle of weirdos – I mean, family.
When Things Get Weird: The McCovey Cove Splash and Beyond
Then there's the McCovey Cove splash. Hit a home run that lands in the adjacent bay, and you get a joyride on a kayak courtesy of the San Francisco Fire Department (seriously, it's a thing). Let's not forget the time Hunter Pence hit a homer, then rounded the bases wearing a pair of orange sunglasses. I mean, who needs logic when you have style, right?
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Remember: Baseball is a sport, but Giants home run celebrations are an art form.
