Well, Ross is doing it too...is this like a new thing or?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

it's the new helmet rub

The speculation on reddit was that it started the first time that Zobrist got on base after getting picked off the other night. But yeah, it seems like it might be developing into the new helmet rub.

old white guys need validation

[Brian]

I miss the helmet rub

Yeah, helmet rub was divine. But with Castro gone I'm cool with retiring it.

[David]

guys we've already had helmet rubs this season im pretty sure

I require proof. I've seen no such thing.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

I absolutely saw helmet rubs opening night, Fowler's double was one if memory serves.

 

The base pointing is kinda great though, perfectly fine with that being a helmet rub for a new group.

[RammyFanny]

Yeah, there's been plenty of helmet rubs. But they have been really quick, not like last year. Heyward even did a little one on his first hit.

[Sammy Sofa]

Soler definitely did the helmet rub already this year.

 

NEVER FORGET CASTRO.

Why do you all want to honor Jon Herrera so badly anyway?

Yeah, I can't say they all did it, but most of them did. I definitely saw Rizzo and Fowler for sure.

[BigbadB]

It happened a lot last night. But I guess it can happen a lot when you get on base as often as they were.

[Andy]

I believe Zobrist did it as well.
