Yankees’ Gleyber Torres ruthlessly mocked Josh Naylor’s ‘rock the baby’ celebration after eliminating Guardians

Gleyber Torres was absolutely merciless with this troll job on Josh Naylor.

On Tuesday, the New York Yankees bested the Cleveland Guardians 5-1 in Game 5 of the ALDS. Thanks to the win, the Yankees now move on to the ALCS to face the Houston Astros, who bested New York in six games back in 2019. Giancarlo Stanton got the ball rolling for the Yankees with a three-run home run in the first and the team never looked back from there.

Coming into Game 5, Naylor’s “rock the baby” home run celebration from the previous game was all anyone could talk about. Yankees fans mocked Naylor with a “who’s your daddy?” chant all night, with many in the stands mimicking the motion or bringing actual dolls to complete the bit. And when the final out came through for the Yankees, Torres capped it off with a ruthless mocking of Naylor’s celebration.

Fair play to Torres and the Yankees, honestly! Naylor and the Guardians couldn’t back up their words with actions and as a result have to suffer the consequences. Here’s how MLB fans reacted to Torres mocking Naylor’s “rock the baby” celebration as the Yankees eliminated the Guardians.
