HOUSTON -- Astros infielder/outfielder Tony Kemp has taken his "Hugs for Homers" campaign to new levels by helping get T-shirts made that depict him in the arms of slugger Evan Gattis. Kemp has started hugging Gattis after home runs, and considering there is a rather large size difference between the two men, Gattis essentially picks up Kemp. "Hugs for Homers" was born.
"People are saying Gattis got hot because of the whole hugs thing," Kemp joked. "He's swinging the bat well. It's good to see him do it. It's an exciting day to actually get this going.
