Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Josh Naylor got a hold of a fastball off New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole, sending it over the right center field wall for a solo home run during Game 4 of the ALDS on Sunday night.

And boy, did he celebrate.

Naylor was animated as he trotted around the bases and was "rocking" an imaginary baby as he appeared to be yelling toward his dugout. But that was also in the direction of Cole.

Naylor also seemed to be saying that Cole was his "little f---ing son" as he rounded the bases. He even yelled it into the camera once he touched home plate to cut the Yankees’ lead to 3-2.

Being that this is a game in which the Guardians could punch their ticket to the ALCS, emotions were running high all through Progressive Field, and Naylor clearly fed off it.

This also is something that he’s known to do. Triston McKenzie told MLB.com that Naylor "calls them his son" when he hits home runs, "hence the rocking the ball as he runs around the bases."
