God Bless

When exactly did it become mandatory for all baseball players to point two fingers to the sky after even the most minimal of achievements? What are they doing? Thanking God for allowing that bloop fly ball to land in short right field for a single? Paying tribute to a dead grandmother who was the inspiration to play the game as a child?

I don't remember this happening before Barry Bonds started doing it as his trademark, pointing to the sky when he reached home plate after every home run. That was his thing. He was Barry Bonds. Don't these nobodies realize how trite it looks nowadays when every single one of them makes the same insincere gesture upon reaching first base after drawing a walk?
