Here's the Gomez brouhaha. I hate him.

Does anyone remember Ricky Henderson's home run trot? He could have been called for delay of game and being outside the base path. But at least he was moving.
Here is McCann yelling at Gomez (with cleaned up language)

Gomez is a dingbat, but who died and made Brian McCann the bastian of home run rules?

Watch Reed Johnson closely. He takes a shot at Gomez and then grabs a coach (Pendleton?) and uses him as a shield so he doesn't have to fight (almost acting like Pendleton is in his way). Pretty funny stuff.
McCann is just jealous because his career is on the decline.
It's silly to get that angry at a guy watching his homerun. If guys watching homeruns makes you that angry, get them out. Don't complain or start fights. The Braves look like whiny pansies.
Watching home runs is fine, but Gomez didn't just watch it, he savored it, waiting until it cleared the fence before starting to round the bases. Very bush league. McCann definitely overreacted, but he and the Braves had every right to be angry. Gomez has a lot of learning to do, and the lessons are going to be painful.
