Here’s Jeon Jun-woo of the Lotte Giants doing a “lotte” celebration for a home run that, uh, isn’t a home run. It’s the Korean Willie Mays Hayes, everybody. I can’t wait until the Korean Pedro Cerrano shows up. (via ClipNation)

Icelandic football team Stjarnan FC became an Internet sensation last month after YouTube footage of the team’s unique goal celebration was posted everywhere. In a game against Fylkir, Stjarnan’s Johann Laxdal scored and he celebrated with his teammates with a choreographed fishing routine. After that, it was all a tale of cyber legends.

Yet with newfound legend comes great responsibility, like parenting or recording Bachelor Pad for your girlfriend. And Stjarnan’s players have recently admitted that the success of their first celebration endeavor has now left them feeling the pressure of performing, both in athletics and dramatics. This damn Internet, she’s a fickle whore, always demanding satisfaction. Luckily, it seems that the boys of Stjarnan are up to fulfilling her every need.

Ollie Irish has written about “sport” for a bunch of people, including Goaly Moly, The Guardian and The Observer. He is the former editor of Stuff magazine and deputy editor of Observer Sport Monthly. Today, he provides syndicated soccer content for With Leather, and we’re damn glad to have him.

Words fail me. ‘Genius’ will have to do.

The skinny: This happened in Iceland at the weekend, during a match between Stjarnan and Fylkir – the former were responsible for the celebration, after Johann Laxdal scored.

I seriously think you should get bonus points in football for capers like this. Much as I always wanted Alan Shearer to break his leg when he ran around with one arm up in the air after scoring yet another penalty.

So, in summing up: yes, this is the greatest goal celebration in the history of football. The big-catch ‘photo’ at the end seals the deal. Read the rest of this entry »

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Kendry Morales earned a seat next to Bill Gramatica at the Whoops Table Saturday after hitting a walk-off grand slam against the Seattle Mariners, only to break his leg crossing home plate in celebration with his waiting teammates. Team doctors announced late yesterday that the team’s leader in homeruns (11) and RBI (39) has already suffered a setback, as they cannot conduct surgery until the swelling subsides. Despite the severity of the injury, manager Mike Scioscia believes that Morales will be back before the end of the regular season.

Easy on the group hugs, Fox Sports:

Morales was scheduled to undergo surgery Sunday but doctors decided to wait until swelling subsides.

Scioscia said he didn’t believe it would be a season-ending injury for the 26-year-old first baseman, based on what the club has been told.

Before Sunday’s game, Scioscia met with his players behind closed doors and talked to them about such celebrations.

The Angels also won Sunday night’s game with a three-run walk-off homerun, but this time Howie Kendrick’s teammates waited in foul territory to congratulate him after he calmly crossed home plate. Scioscia said from here on out his team will refrain from celebrating victories completely, adding, “If the Cubs can do it, why can’t we?” Read the rest of this entry »
