The Yankees finished with a series victory over the Guardians in a decisive Game 5, and they added some pettiness to the final out.
The final out of the series was a Myles Straw forceout to second base, with second baseman Gleyber Torres catching the ball. Immediately after, Torres “rocked the baby” with the ball in his glove, which was notable because Josh Naylor did the exact same celebration after homering off Gerrit Cole in Game 4 of the series.
Naylor’s celebration apparently wasn’t meant for Cole specifically, as Triston McKenzie said that the slugger does that after every home run, regardless of the pitcher he takes deep.
