The Giants' viral postgame celebration apparently lasted just one game.

Sometimes a celebration is so bold, it's destined to be a one-hit wonder. That's exactly what happened with the San Francisco Giants' NSFW postgame ritual, which went viral after Monday night's 9-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the now-famous clip, outfielders Jung Hoo Lee, Drew Gilbert, and Harrison Bader met in center field, locked arms, and performed a move that had fans and commentators alike doing double-takes. Let's just say it's not something you'd see in a team's official highlight reel.

But as quickly as the celebration captured the internet's attention, it's already been benched. According to The Athletic's Andrew Baggarly, "a message has been relayed" to the players that the gesture is no longer welcome. The Giants made their stance clear the very next night, when they beat the Dodgers again—this time celebrating with a simple, PG-rated bow instead. It's a classic case of a team choosing class over chaos, even if the original move sparked plenty of laughs and debate among baseball fans.

Not to be outdone, the New York Mets have stepped up to fill the void. After their win over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, the Mets' outfielders debuted their own version of the celebration, proving that team bonding can take many forms—some more creative than others. For the Giants, though, it's back to the drawing board for postgame fun, as they focus on keeping the wins coming without the viral antics.
