Oh, Julio Rodriguez. You got us all.
We’ve seen baseball players fake that they did rob a player of a home run. But the young Seattle Mariners star did the opposite: When Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a ball to straightaway center, it nearly went over the wall. J-Rod caught it … but he didn’t reveal it right away.
No, he just started walking away like it went beyond his glove. And then he revealed it with a smirk and a celebration.
I LOVE THIS. I’ve seen a few tweets remaking that it was taunting, but whatever! Baseball should be fun!
Everyone from fans to the booth was fooled:
Julio Rodriguez LOVES the drama 😂
