Former All-Star upset over Marcell Ozuna selfie celebration on home run

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Larry Brown | Last updated 10/16/20

Even though Marcell Ozuna had a huge game for the Atlanta Braves in Game 4 of the NLCS on Thursday night at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, his celebrations left some annoyed.

Ozuna has been taking mock selfies as a form of celebration this postseason. This time he did a mock selfie after rounding third base following his second home run of the game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Stopping mid-home run trot to pose and celebrate rubbed some the wrong way. One person who did not like it was former All-Star pitcher Greg Swindell.

Swindell, who was an All-Star in 1989 and won the 2001 World Series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, shared his annoyance via Twitter.

“This MFer just stopped and took a “selfie” rounding 3rd on a home run. When does this s— stop. I’m sorry. But that’s enough,” Swindell said (profanity edited by LBS).

Swindell told another person that he hoped someone would throw at Ozuna to send a message. He also described himself as “old school.”

Good night Braves fans. I’m not a Dodger fan. I’m an old school though. Fun is fun. And maybe just maybe, y’all can win again. And be in the WS. Good luck. I love you all.

Ozuna pulled the same move earlier in the playoffs.

He also did the mock selfie thing after the Braves won the NLDS.
