"Don't show up your opponent. Just play the game and don't get too outrageous," said Leon Roberts, Cincinnati Reds hitting coordinator. "Hit a home run, run around the bases, head down, halfway fast instead of dancing, prancing around. That's how you end up getting drilled." There was a time when punishment might not come until the next season in spring training. In 1987, Boston pitcher Al Nipper drilled Darryl Strawberry in retribution for Strawberry's flamboyant trot on a home run in Game 7 of the 1986 World Series." - Author Paul Dickson in The Unwritten Rules of Baseball: The Etiquette, Conventional Wisdom, and Axiomatic Codes of Our National Pastime (Harper Publishing, 03/24/2009, Page 60)
