The Baltimore Orioles are a lot of fun right now. So when the team busted out a new celebration, it wasn’t surprising that it was pretty funny too.
Austin Hays stood up to bat against the Oakland A’s on Tuesday night in the leadoff spot. A hot hitter right now, Hays smoked a hit into left field and reached second base safely with a double.
The Oriole outfielder then could be seen putting his hand on his head. He stuck his arm out and pretended to mimic a sprinkler. The results were absolutely hilarious. Players in the dugout could be seen spitting water out of their mouths in synchronized fashion!
