At Yankee Stadium -- maybe you've heard of it? -- the Bleacher Creatures have a tradition. (They probably have many traditions; this is merely one of them.) They chant each player's name in the first inning, and that player turns and waves, thanking the fans for their tireless support. Guh Yahankeeees! And so on.
Last night, an inopportune liner was hit at Melky Cabrera, and he couldn't decided whether to field the ball or wave at the Creatures. As the above video shows, he chose ... poorly.
