No, I don't mean the one during Orientation where you scream it as loud as you can, people come running over to lift you onto their shoulders, and everyone around starts cheering for you. Although that would be pretty nice.
I want one of those standing ovations that pitchers get after they get pulled from an incredible outing, or after they finish what they know will be their last inning of the game. Kind of like Derek Holland's departure from Game 4 of the 2011 World Series, coming off 8 1/3 shutout innings in front of the home crowd. Something really nice and humbling where you walk off the field to the tens of thousands of fans cheering for you. Maybe a nice tip of the cap; always a nice touch. Given that I probably won't play organized baseball for a while, especially not on front of thousands of fans, this might never happen. But it is always awesome to see it happen in the MLB, knowing that some dude just went out there and threw a gem.
