I'm curious, people put a great emphasis on Home Field Advantage. However, if you win early, you get to celebrate on your opponent's infield if you have HFA.
The Tigers (much to my chagrin) celebrated on their own infield. The Mets celebrated on the Dodgers' infield. Which one is better? No poll, just post away.
Thx.

I think home field advantage doesn't mean as much as it used to. Some teams have a home field DISadvantage, like the Braves did for a majority of this season.Originally Posted by Mattingly

For some strange reason, I like this question. I would rather see a celebration by my favorite team on our home field, in order to include the fans, however in my case, as a Dodger fan, I thought it was the best watching them celebrate making the playoffs on the opponent's home field, because that opponent was the GIANTS! That was syrup on the ice cream for me!

You can only celebrate at the place your physically body is at the time the event occurs.
Home field advantage is bunk. Would love to see the won-loss record for all ML games in relation to home field advantage dating back to 1876. I wonder if it is even over .500.
Weep to water the trees.
Both are sweet, but it's nice to have the home crowd to help celebrate. So given the option, I'd rather win it at home.

Thanks for the replies, folks. Just another one of those questions in the back of my feeble mind which happen to peek out every now and then.

Definately homefield. More fans to enjoy it. Although my favorite scene has always been Nixon running into centerfield at Yankee stadium to celebrate with the sox fans calling his name out there.
I see you have a sig now Matt, what brought on the change?

I don't think it matters either way. You'd rather celebrate in front of the home crowd, but you still get a reception at the airport when you win on the road. Not to mention a parade at home.

The Yanks celebrating on the Mets' infield in 2000 made me happy. The Marlins celebrating on the Yanks' infield obviously didn't.
As to the sig, it's to Buck O'Neil. If the "location" thing on the top right, it's what the team needs. No more guys over 30 who aren't very speedy, don't play great defense, or are going to wilt in October. Give me the hungry young bucks who'll work their hearts out for you, speed all around the basepaths. That's what I want.

This reminds me, what happened to Double X? Hope he's alright.

He's taking a break. There's a thread about this in the Yankee forum.

FIRE BRIAN SABEAN!!!
Eh, stuff it.
But seriously, I don't think there's anything better than celebrating in front of your own home fans.

I like to see a homefield win and celebration. I loved what I saw on the field in Detroit after they Tigers won the series against the Yankees. I've never seen anything like that with the players and fans interacting like that. It was pure joy in the whole city...aside from the yanks.....I loved seeing it. That is what baseball is all about. But yeah, I like seeing hte home team clinch or win it at home. It's better for the fans.
Cardinals all the way!!!
I rather celebrate anywhere, where the series ends sooner, I like more celebrating on the road to feel those fans miserable hahahaha.
