The ridiculously elaborate high-fives of the newly victorious Blue Jays
The Blue Jays have had plenty to celebrate lately—and, if you’ve just started paying attention, you’ve probably noticed they have some strange ways of doing that. Here, a selection of the most elaborate high-fives, handshakes, backslaps and other on-field victory gestures from a few of the team’s recent games.
The Rainmaker
Jose Bautista and Ryan Goins appear to mime making it rain, shuffling bills from their hands into the sky.
The Dance
Josh Donaldson greets Ryan Goins with a simple hand tap, then mixes it up with crossed-arm, full-body wiggle.
The Godfather
Chris Colabello low-fives a bat boy before making some kind of Italian hand gesture—bellissima! Kevin Pillar then gets some kind of a do-si-do.
The Tap and Tug
Ryan Goins meets Chris Colabello halfway down the dugout, where they tap twice down low before pulling at each other’s shoulders. The pair finish the move with unison fist pumps.
The Invisible Trampoline
Kevin Pillar and Ryan Goins jump up and down with each other, hands pumping in unison over their heads.
The Vasco da Gama
Handshake masters Josh Donaldson and Jose Bautista do a series of “around the world” high fives with other members of the club.
The Gameshow Winner
Bautista moves along a row of teammates, finishing with a couple low taps for Dioner Navarro. Then they clap gently above their heads, Kidstreet style.
The Potential Workplace Harassment Lawsuit
Ryan Goins climbs on Josh Donaldson’s back, as Donaldson staggers around high-fiving everyone, then gets his torn jersey put down the neck of his undershirt.
This. Was. The. Weakest. Post. Ever!
This is is awesome! But…. you are missing the Kawasaki
handshake!
It’s 2015 and this guy Is. Still. Doing. This.
yeah, fun is awful. make it stop!
I dunno, made me laugh.
Jose Reyes was good at that stuff but that’s okay because they have Troy Fuck’n Tulowitzki now.
Donaldson is sayin to goins ” get the fuck off my back”
Cool to know. How ever they high-five each other, it`s working! Go Jays Go!!
Pure happiness. Seems that Goins in particular is into high-fiving big time. :)
I`d like to see that one. Isn`t he in the minors right now, in Buffalo ?
