VIDEO: Braves Debut New Umbrella Celebration After 'Bringer of Rain' Josh Donaldson Slugs Homer
By Adam Weinrib
All Josh Donaldson does is homer these days, so his Braves teammates have really put their collective nose to the grindstone -- how can we make these blasts special, they ask? Well, this oughtta do it! First, Donaldson slugged a late homer against the White Sox on Saturday.
Then, his teammates did what they do best: celebrate! When Donaldson returned to the dugout, the whole squad was ready for him with an umbrella to boot.
Let's see that from another angle. It's worth a second (and third, and fourth...) look.
While we're not sure we would recommend trying this in a domed stadium (after all, it's bad news to unleash an umbrella indoors), we're sure Donaldson and his monster bat would find a way to overpower that negative energy and bad luck.
The Braves are taking full advantage of this home set with the scuffling ChiSox. They're rolling, and they're having FUN doing it. They're even innovating! So, what's on deck next?
