Wins shouldn't feel 'monotonous' and that's why veteran Phillies players such as Kyle Schwarber have taken to honoring big or small contributions to victories.
were in the midst of a stretch in which they won four of 15 games, the team veterans had a discussion. At that point, they didn’t have many wins to celebrate, but they wanted to a better job of celebrating the wins they did have.
So they came up with a plan. A few of the guys had been on teams that toasted individual players after wins, for moments big and small. Bryce Harper said he did it with the Nationals, and saw Jake Arrieta do it with the Phillies. It was something that he always liked — a way to highlight playing the game the right way. Kyle Schwarber had never toasted players on others teams, but was he drawn to the idea and decided to make it his own.
