It’s the MLB postseason, so we’re going to see a lot of those fun gesticulations from players on base to celebrate hits and runs and the like.
On Tuesday night, we got a curious one that fans mostly understood: When Nick Castellanos reached second in Game 1 of the Philadelphia Phillies’ Wild Card series against the Miami Marlins, he flipped a finger at the dugout.
Which one was it? It was the ring finger, of course, a sign that he wanted a ring on that digit. But there were questions about whether or not he had flipped the middle finger, which means something VERY different.
When asked after the Phillies’ win for clarification, he had a hilarious answer:

“Of course it was the ring finger, man. Why would I give the ring finger to my teammates? I love them!”
LOL. Just perfect.
