I've always thought teams that throw it down to 1st instead of 3rd after a strikeout are gay.

Keeps fielder's arms warm. Or at least stops them from going cold

In that case, their arms are going to get really cold with men on base.

I think it'd be better if every fielder dropped their gloves and did some sort of celebratory bump and grind dance maneuver

Seriously? They take whatever opportunity they can

Every team from BFE directional state to the Astros do it to say F you on the sly?

Baseball players and people take everything personal and are irrationally sensitive.

Anything and everything is disrespectful in baseball.

But it's funny because they fight over it.

Teams throw it to 1st and 1st tags bag for a couple of reasons:

1.) In case of dropped strike...already thrown to 1st
2.) Allow catcher and 1st baseman to communicate throws for instances that might actually occur in a game...bunt plays, snap throws, throw downs on dropped third strike.

I wish after every out, the infielders met at the mound and high fived and played with each other's butts like in softball

Always thought that was adorable yet the guys are "too cool" to be teammates.

When I played we threw to first if it was a right handed batter and to third if it was left handed.

Was just messing with you. It's just as much about keeping infielders alert and in the game as it is about their arms, though. Strikeouts = downtime for IF, easy to have concentration lapses.

This is the correct answer... At least while I played growing up

You got to be kidding and you have obviously never played baseball...

Players get incredibly bored in the field when a pitcher is mowin em down. Throwin the ball around in to keep the infielders awake.
