Dodgers’ Groin Bump Celebration Goes Viral and Divides Social Media
Some of the Los Angeles Dodgers really … laid the lumber during their victory over the San Diego Padres last night … one celebration in particular going viral.
Here’s the call … the Dodgers defeated the Padres 2-0 to clinch the heated division series in the best of five … and now they’ll face the New York Mets in the National League Championship Series.
One of the biggest moments of the night came when fan-favorite Kiké Hernandez smacked a home run to make it 1-0 … and celebrated after he rounded the bases by appearing to bump johnsons with teammate Gavin Lux.
Of course … the unexpected interaction immediately went viral … and divided social media — with some thinking it was hilarious and awesome … and others calling it strange and inappropriate.
Whatever the reaction to the guys … sportin’ wood, if you will … it’s certainly not the first time the meat bumps have happened during an MLB celebration. Players on the Cubs had the same celebration in 2016 … and they won the World Series!
The Mets come to L.A. to face the Dodgers tomorrow for game 1 of the NLCS … and there’ll likely be more … crackin’ of the bats.
