Little kid has the most adorable celebration dance in baseball
Every once and a while we lose sight of what baseball and sports in general are designed to be: Fun!
It’s easy to do that though when there’s a seemingly never-ending back and forth between “old school” players determined to rein in personalities and eliminate fun, and those who probably take that fun too far in order to spite the opposing viewpoint.

Fortunately, our beloved baseball is still a kid’s game at the heart of it all. Even better, there are still kids out there playing it and enjoying it for what it’s meant to be. And the best part yet, they aren’t shy about showing emotion or excitement when they succeed.
Take this young man for example. It appears he just reached for the first time in his fledgling baseball — well, technically tee-ball — career, and he’s not about to let the moment pass without a celebration.
The first-base shimmy is the future of baseball celebrations, and the future is coming quicker than you think.
Did you see those helmet flips too? That’s his way of telling us he’s arrived and won’t be held back by the authority. With that said, it should come as no surprise that bat flips are also a big part of his game.
Nailed it.
In all seriousness, it’s just cool seeing a young kid having that moment. If you played a sport as a child, chances are you still remember your first success. Whether it be getting on base in baseball or softball, making a shot in basketball, scoring a goal in hockey, or whatever the sport may be, those are moments that will always stick with us.

But how many of us celebrated that moment by dancing? And if you’re saying no, don’t you wish you had?
If this isn’t the most adorable moment on a baseball field this year, I can’t wait to see what tops it.
