In a Little League World Series game on Tuesday, the Netherlands team (representing Europe in this year's tournament) may have displayed some bad sportsmanship with a choreographed home run celebration.
In the sixth inning of today's game, Phayson Antonio hit a home run to break open a game against Rhode Island. As he came around third base, his teammates surrounded home plate. When he reached home, Antonio hopped onto the plate, and all his teammates fell down backwards around him.
Obviously this was something the players planned out ahead of time. Was this a playful celebration or bad sportsmanship? You make the call.
