They celebrate every good play like they just won the World Series and are very in-your-face about it. It's basically taunting. Case in point, when Coleman got intentionally walked in the 9th inning she slammed down her bat and started gesticulating wildly like she had just hit a home run or something. I've noticed similar behavior from them in prior years. They seem to lack a little something called class!

Sounds like a cult to me.
Cult? Nah. The accusation of "cult" sounds like the perspective of someone who has not been around religious people much! These girls are just religious; I am fully aware that there are lots of brands of religion, and this is theirs. So what? Sounds like they've found some sort of meaning and peace in their lives. In fact, I'd love it if my kids had a perspective (of whatever kind) beyond immediate circumstances like wins and losses, clicks and likes, paycheck or promotion. I was actually impressed with how well-spoken those girls were, and how they carried themselves with reporters.
I was, however, not impressed with the level and nature of celebration during games for things that seem sort of ordinary.
