I agree DicksonCo with everything you said except the Celebration calls. I think they were unfair, unnecessary, and really not in line with the rule at all.
The whole purpose of the rule is to avoid taunting the other team, which I hardly think most of the celebration even went near taunting. The first one was a good call, I'll admit it, but the rest were unfounded. You can't take emotion out of this game... You can't! It isn't fair to the players or fans. You have to let the players get excited. It's a side effect of playing with heart. If you remove it, you remove the best part of the game.
