Hot GIF: Delighted Dotel Dances in the Bullpen
Edwin Encarnacion hit his third home run of the season, a solo shot, Saturday night in St. Louis, leaving him only 37 shy of the 40 long balls1 the Toronto Blue Jays brass told us he had the potential to hit.
Octavio Dotel, as you can see, called the round-tripper. Why else would he, in a 6-2 game, be so super stoked about it?
The next time you catch a ball at the ballpark, home run or foul ball, whether you predicted it or not, I trust that you’ll channel your inner Octavio, and do the Dotel as if no one were watching.
1. A hunch: Edwin’s probably not going to get there.
Much love, respect and adulation to @James_In_TO for posting the GIF (pronounced: “Jif”) in a tweet.

Actually, I think Dotel possesses the power to change the scoreboard at will, as the Blue Jays get their 6th run during his dance.
