There's a fine line between overdoing and the Barry Sanders' "act like you've been there before" professionalism, or the old school players of Mantle, Kaline, Aaron, etc.
Thing is, it's a different type of game now, most all of them do it. Take a time machine back 20 to 30 years and further, with this type of celebrating a player or more than one gets beaned.
For me, I like some of it, and some celebrating I don't, and that's just with the Tigers players. But I accept it, even though old school, I have to accept and embrace change, and that's not just in baseball.
FWIW, any of you guys remember a couple of years back when luke scott hit a homerun, maybe it was a grandslam, and slid into home plate? That Game thread, iirc, many of us did not like it done to our Tigers or to us as Tigers fans watching it.
another is elephant ears jose bautista, he seems to do some kind of a bat flip after homeruns, like big papi, and same as the phony torri hunter. So I guess what I'm saying is every team has a player or two that go as we say over the top.
