A couple of Los Angeles Dodgers teammates have been going through a strange pre-game ritual during the month of September. Catcher Rod Barajas and shortstop Dee Gordon start their routine with some choreographed hand slaps, but then Gordon jumps into the catcher's arms and Barajas cradles him like a baby.
Obviously, this has to be seen to be believed, so here's what it looks like:
Dee Gordon has been on somewhat of a roll during the month of September, compiling 40 hits this month. Since many major league baseball players are superstitious, this has become the standard routine for Gordon and Barajas, despite how strange it may look to the rest of us.
Since the regular season is now over for the Dodgers, there's no word yet as to whether they'll continue this ritual next season.
