Although the Yankees did a tremendous job of making a comeback in the postseason and eliminating the Guardian, the main talking point of the series has been Josh Naylor trolling Gerrit Cole with a rock-the-baby celebration in Game 4. And now, when the Pinstripes have advanced to the ALCS, the Guardians DH is getting the taste of his own medicine.
Yankees wives and girlfriends hit back at Josh Naylor after the New York Yankees eliminate Cleveland Guardians
On their day, the New York Yankees are absolutely ruthless, regardless of the opponents. And the last two ALDS games had the same momentum in the ballparks. When Naylor, the Guardians’ designated hitter, mocked Gerrit Cole with a rock-the-baby celebration in Game 4, the Yankees players did not react at all.
And now, when the Yankees have knocked the Guardians out, Naylor has become troll material for the Yankees’ fanbase. Even the Yankees players’ wives and girlfriends hit back at Naylor with the same celebration after the win.
And for a change, they held a real baby in their hand and trolled the Guardians’ player epically. The video of the same is doing rounds on the internet.
Here are some of the reactions on MLB Twitter:
Outstanding especially with a real baby!
