The Yankees’ New Celebration Is a Meme Brought to Life

The Yankees’ thumbs down celebration is spreading.

It started on Wednesday when Todd Frazier, in an homage to a fan from earlier in the week, flashed the dugout a thumbs down following an RBI single. (Side note: NJ.com found the guy, and he’s actually a Mets fan.)

“I hope this become Frazier’s signature celebration, like Edwin Encarnacion’s parrot walk,” I wrote at the time. But it’s even better than that. Not only has Frazier officially adopted the thumbs down as his celebration, he’s got the rest of the team doing it with him.
