Easy solution. Throw it at a teammate instead.

When did this start and who started it? When a guy hits a walk off HR, around third he throws his helmet up in the air, jumps on the plate, gets beat up by his teammates, and gets a shower of gatorade or water. I dont remember this ritual in the 80s/90s and even 2000s. When did it start? Like 10 years ago maybe? And who started it? |

I don't remember Fisk throwing his hat in the air. I remember he was trying to dodge people around third. |

I thought I recently heard the helmet throw has to do with the guys getting hurt in the mob if they wore it all the way to the plate. |

He prefers everyone go about their business like they did when he was a kid...you know, Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Honus Wagner, etc. |

This is probably the best walk-off celebration of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHU789PuCWg |

I don't think it was a walk-off, but the best celebration was the one where Cesar Izturis was rubbing a bat under his teammates crotch. Forget the details of who and where....just remember it being hysterical. |

the Fielder/Braun era Brewers also pioneered the stand at home plate and do a 3 minute hand-shake routine with the on-deck hitter post home run. |
