Plunking aside, Joba Chamberlain gets last laugh

http://nypost.com/2014/08/06/plunking-aside-joba-chamberlain-gets-last-laugh/

The revenge was not hitting Jeter with a pitch in the 10th inning — he said he felt terrible about that — but coming in and getting a huge strikeout in the ninth inning on Martin Prado and letting loose with a gyrating fist pump, that was vintage Joba Chamberlain....

As for sticking out his tongue, Joba had promised he was going to do that and he kept his word.

“I’ve seen the [Jeter] head nod every day for seven years and I always said if I faced him, I was going to stick out my tongue,’’ Chamberlain said. “I said, ‘All right, let me try it.’ ”...

“I can show my emotions more now,’’ Chamberlain said. “I’d be lying if I didn’t say I did. They look at it totally different here. This is who I am as a person and I wear my heart on my sleeve through and through.’’
