Cleveland Guardians' Medieval Home Run Celebration

0:00On March 29, Chase De Lauder is owning the spotlight for the Cleveland Guardians with their fresh home run celebration. He smacked the team's first four homers this season, including two in their six to four win over the Seattle Mariners on Thursday. Right after circling the bases, he swapped his helmet for a night's helmet in the dugout. The fun started from a spring training outing to medieval times in Scottsdale, Arizona. Catcher Austin Hedges organized it, and players like Tanner Bibi grabbed the night helmet while Kyle Manzardo picked up a blunt sword. Now, every homer hit her wears the helmet, and after wins, Hedges nights the game star with the sword. Team mates love the vibe, saying it sparks team chemistry in a sport that's mostly solo. It's catching on quick with the Lauder getting knighted twice already. Once after a two run shot in the 10th during Saturday's six to five victory, this replaces their old tradition of handing out a championship belt after wins, which had run its course over the past two seasons.

1:00Hedges wants to keep things fresh to match higher goals, like boosting their offense after finishing 28th and runs last year. The Lauder keeps heating up, and the crew's rallying around it, joking in might stay as crowned for now alongside stars like Jose Ramirez. As the season rolls, this medieval twist is helping them bond and chase that world series run. This story for today, MLB News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with the story.
