Baseball has a way of surprising us, doesn’t it? Just when you think you’ve seen it all, players like Enrique “Kiké” Hernandez and Gavin Lux come along and shake things up.
In the nail-biting Game 5 of the NLDS, the Los Angeles Dodgers found themselves in a do-or-die situation against the San Diego Padres. The tension was palpable, but Hernandez had other plans. With one swing of the bat, he sent Yu Darvish’s first pitch sailing over the left field fence, giving the Dodgers an early 1-0 lead.
Now, home runs are exciting, but what happened next took everyone by surprise. As Hernandez rounded the bases, his teammate Gavin Lux was waiting for him. What followed was a celebration that had fans doing a double-take – an enthusiastic crotch bump!
Here’s the video that got everyone talking:
Another angle revealed that Lux actually initiated this unique celebration:
Was this a planned move or a spur-of-the-moment thing? We may never know. But one thing’s for sure – if the Dodgers advance, they might want to rethink this particular celebration.
Hernandez is no rookie when it comes to clutch postseason homers. He’s been delivering them for years. But this celebration? That’s a new one, even for him.
