So, those who did leave had the option of returning to Yankee Stadium over the following day in hopes of witnessing No. 61 or even No. 62 hit on Bronx soil.
In a Twitter video, we saw a player hit a home run, watch the flight of the ball, turn to his dugout, point at his teammates all before unleashing an overhand bat throw and stomping on the plate as he finished his trot. It was a spectacular celebration by the player, Wayland Baptist’s Gregory Ozuna, but it predictably had some baseball fans upset.

Naylor has had plenty of excessive celebrations throughout this season. After a go-ahead home run against the White Sox in May, he made it back to the dugout and spiked his home run into the tunnel. In the bottom of the fourth inning, the Guardians designated hitter launched a solo home run off Yankees starter Gerrit Cole, pulling Cleveland to within a run at 3-2. As he was rounding the bases, he began to violently rock his arms as if cradling a baby. All those are well and good, but everyone knows that a home run celebration provides the clearest window into a player's personality.
Naylor has often played the role of hero for Cleveland during the season. If the Guardians keep their postseason run going, he could unveil plenty of other wild home run celebrations. "When he homers off people, he calls them his son, hence the rocking the baby as he runs around the bases staring at Cole, his son, in this instance," Shehadi said on the broadcast.

At the time, witnesses to that accomplishment were limited to those in attendance at one of the eight games where the revered baseball milestone had previously been reached. Anyone who’s seenMoneyballno doubt remembers the scene at the end of the movie, when Jonah Hill’s Peter Brand shows Brad Pitt’s Billy Beane video of an Oakland Athletics farmhand hitting a home run without realizing it. Thursday’s game between the Gwinnett Stripers and Memphis Redbirds, Triple-A affiliates of the Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals, respectively, gave us the exact opposite.
Rock the baby! Naylor's HR trot is must-see
From award-winning writing and photography to binge-ready videos to electric live events, GQ meets millions of modern men where they live, creating the moments that create conversations. By now you've probably noticed the laundry cart ride Red Sox hitters take across the dugout after hitting a home run. They enjoyed six such jaunts on Sunday afternoon vs. the Orioles in a 14-9 slugfest. In this game, Wayland Baptist was trailing No. 21 Oklahoma City University by eight runs at one point on Saturday. But Wayland Baptist would chip away at that lead, and Ozuna’s home run in the ninth inning — his first homer since March — gave WBU its first lead of the game and ultimately sent WBU to the conference final.
According to infielder Christian Arroyo, backup catcher Kevin Plawecki hatched the idea with an indirect assist from coach Jason Varitek, who wondered what the cart was doing in the dugout one series. The Red Sox decided to take Christian Vazquez for a spin and it caught on. During the TBS broadcast, dugout reporter Lauren Shehadi was all over this celebration. She said that Cleveland pitcher Triston McKenzie had told MLB.com's Mandy Bell that he deems himself the father over whomever he hits a home run. Guardians fans have become accustomed to Josh Naylor's excessive celebrations throughout Cleveland's surprising 2022 campaign. Naylor took that to the national scene on Sunday.
The Red Sox entered Sunday's game with seven homers and then nearly doubled that total in one day. With Rafael Devers heating up, Martinez on fire, and Alex Verdugo and Kiké Hernández starting to find their power strokes, the Red Sox can only hope there are many more laundry rides in their future. "We're going to keep rolling with it. It's just one of those things we enjoy doing. Hopefully there's a lot of those this series and a lot more of those the rest of the season." "It's just something stupid but fun," said J.D. Martinez after his three-homer effort on Sunday. "We enjoy it. Any little thing we can do to create some camaraderie with the guys and kind of bring everybody tighter and closer together, it's been fun."
Michael is a writer and editor for The Comeback Media. Fan of most sports, nerd when it comes to sports history. Bat flips, walk offs, home plate celebrations—we’ve got it all. While Cole will support his Yankees from the dugout on Monday night, Naylor will likely return to the Guardians' lineup where we might see him pull out that celebration again. As he began rounding the bases, Naylor was screaming and doing the "rock the baby" celebration that he has done in the past in the direction of Cole and didn't stop until he hit home plate to cut the Yankees' lead to 3-2. Now when a Red Sox player homers, you can expect a jumble of arms and legs while he zooms from one side of the dugout to the other like an oversized baby in a stroller.

More good news for Pérez and the RedBirds, the night ended well, with Memphis defeating Gwinnett 6-1. That makes it a lot easier to laugh at this gaffe. "Everything is going great over here," Devers said.
Memphis third baseman Delvin Pérez clocked a ball to deep left field. He trotted around the bases, even pointing out to left field as he rounded second base. Pérez was roughly halfway between third base and home before he realized one significant detail. He had not hit a home run or even gotten a hit.

Stanton’s homer was a rarity in itself, becoming just the 32nd recorded walk-off grand slam while a team trailed by three runs since 1925, per MLB.com. Baseball, perhaps more than most sports, presents the opportunity to witness something you’ve never seen before.
The Pittsburgh Pirates quickly went down in order during what was a 12-pitch top of the ninth, bringing Judge to the plate in the bottom of the inning. After a first-pitch strike came three straight balls, each drawing boos from the crowd that remained. Another taken pitch out of the zone would have sent nearly all that remained to the subway or parking garage, safely behind the eighth-inning departees already on the Cross Bronx Expressway. Fortunately for Pérez, the ball was caught. So, the mistake didn’t cost his team anything, which might not have been the case had it hit off of the wall and he was trotting around the bases when the ball was in play.
