Josh Naylor has been known to celebrate a home run or two with wild, over-the-top celebrations.
And in Game 4 of the ALDS matchup against the New York Yankees on Sunday, the Cleveland Guardians slugger knocked one out of the park and ran the bases while doing the “rock the baby” celebration.
I’m not here to criticize it at all. Home runs are awesome and should be celebrated accordingly.
But in the playoffs? If you don’t end up winning a game, you might hear an earful from your opponent, especially the pitcher.
Enter Gerrit Cole, who had this to say — just four words that summed it all up for the New York Yankees hurler:
