Yeah, it's fair to say that Rickey "earned" the right to showboat, but there are plenty others who also did, but chose not to, and I prefer watching them. I mean, look at Hank Aaron after he hit 715 and compared that image with Rickey after, well, many plays -- and not just his milestone ones.
Different strokes for different folks. It's like in football. Neon Deion was absolutely awesome, but Charles Woodson and Rod Woodson were really the guys to watch in my opinion.
