VIDEO: Freddie Freeman's Reaction to 'Baby Shark' Being Played at Nats Game is Priceless
By Parker White
Gerardo Parra has quickly become a fan favorite with Washington Nationals fans, as he strides to the plate with the song "Baby Shark" blaring in the background. Not only do fans get a kick out of it, but they chomp along and flap their arms. It seems Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman hadn't seen this in person before, and his reaction to it is priceless.

That's all you can do, Freddie. While looking around the stadium at all the fans, all the All-Star first baseman managed was to put his hand to his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
Of course, Freeman was made aware of this in the first inning when Nationals infielder Howie Kendrick reached first base, giving him a chomping gesture with his fingers.

So, is this "Baby Shark" thing going to be Washington's Tomahawk Chop? It's caught on with the fan base, and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon.
