Well, Cody Bellinger clearly learned his lesson …
The Dodgers star balled out of his mind, again, in Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday … but instead of celebrating with forearm bashes — he turned to his feet to dap up teammates!null
The scene was hilarious … just two days after Belli dislocated his shoulder in the chaos following a game-winning HR in the NLCS on Sunday — Cody hit another huge dinger off Rays starter Tyler Glasnow.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1318778749979119621&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com%2F2020%2F10%2F21%2Fcody-bellinger-home-run-celebration-foot-tap-world-series-dodgers-rays%2F&siteScreenName=TMZ&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
And, as the outfielder rounded 3rd base and headed for home, everyone wondered … how was he going to celebrate this one?!
Turns out, Belli protected his arms at all costs … and gave his squadmates love taps with his cleats!!!https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-1&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1318726099443027969&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com%2F2020%2F10%2F21%2Fcody-bellinger-home-run-celebration-foot-tap-world-series-dodgers-rays%2F&siteScreenName=TMZ&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
The move was so epic … even LeBron Jamesgave Cody his stamp of approval, writing on social media, “Hahaha!! Leg tap celebrations for him.”https://adeff52c45d55a957408de28b629d682.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html
As for Bellinger’s take on the HR celly switch-up … he told reporters after the game, “I said it today before the game: ‘If I hit one, I’m not touching anybody’s arm.'”
He added with a laugh, “I think I’ll continue to do that, maybe my whole career.”
Bellinger also had an insane catch later in the game … helping the Dodgers seal the 8-3 victory over Tampa Bay.
Looks like pregame advice from Dad really paid off, huh?!
