The Walk of Shame in Baseball, While the Victorious Pitcher Pauses Dismissively

What is worse in sports than the walk of shame back to the dug out after being struck out in Baseball and Softball.  The Character and personality of the pitcher's victim mercilessly revealed in glaring display for Man, Women and Child to observe either with pity or jubilation.

Opponents posterized in Basketball by spectacular plays either ridiculous dunks, blocks or shake and bake, ankle breaking dribbling are not humiliated as the Baseball player's walk of shame to the dug out after the debilitating third strike.

Tackle breaking runs and sensational circus like touchdown catches against against defenses in Football do not humiliate the defense as the singular walk of shame to the dug out with the  displayed of concealed look of stupidity on the victims face.

Neither are adroit dribbling in Soccer, deft puck handling in Hockey, back hand goal scoring flips in Lacrosse and cross court fore hands in Tennis abjectedly demoralizing on the opposition as that solitary naked walk to the dug out of the struck out vanquished hitter in Baseball.

The Boxing knockdown or knockout and submission in Wrestling and mixed Martial Arts contest are not humiliating but rather infuriating technical aspects of a Win.

Nothing in sports is humiliating as the Unitarian construct of the third strike in Baseball and it's walk of shame to the dug out, while Man, Women and Child bear witness to the mortality of the hitter protagonist, while the victorious pitcher pauses dismissively on the mound as a Matador with sword and cape awaiting another turf pawing brutish hitter.
