Is there a better way of celebrating an MLB division title but by jumping in the other team’s pool? The Los Angeles Dodgers did just that Thursday after clinching the NL West crown over the Arizona Diamondbacks. After celebrating with champagne in the clubhouse and some worm dancing from Yasiel Puig (GIF below), several of the Dodgers decided to go back on the field and into the pool located in center field.
The Diamondbacks requested on Wednesday that the Dodgers not celebrate on Chase Field, and when they did, they didn’t appreciate it. Willie Bloomquist went so far as calling it “classless”.
#DBacks not happy with Dodgers celebrating in Chase Field pool, Willie Bloomquist called it "classless and disrespectful."

Bloomquist: "I would expect them to act with a little more class than they did. I doubt the New York Yankees would do something like that."
