Great Traditions In Sport

This is something I thought of earlier today that all sports fans can partake in, whether it be North American, European or Australian. What are some great traditions in your favorite sports? Be it a team tradition, league tradition etc.

I'm not a big hockey fan but I randomly thought today was that the winner of the NHL every year wins the Stanley Cup. Part of the tradition that goes along with being champion is that each player gets to have the Stanley Cup in their possession for a week or so in the off season following the victory. I don't know of any other league that does this. Pretty amazing when you consider that the Stanley Cup has been around forever and they let the players handle the real deal every year. Anyways, what are some of yours?

I'll post more as I think of them.
