    I'd prefer to avoid this route, because I think ultimately it would just mean any celebration earns a player an ejection—that's just the way I think umpires' discretion would ultimately trend (sort of like how pushback against celebratory activities has made the NFL even more boring). I'm fine with how it's being policed now, to be honest: a well-earned bruise to the backside.
