San Francisco Giants manager Tony Vitello never thought he'd have to play the role of fun police—but thanks to former Tennessee Vols outfielder Drew Gilbert, here we are.

When Vitello left his head coaching role at Tennessee to take the helm in San Francisco, he joked that his new job was essentially "Drew Gilbert's babysitter." This week, that joke became reality.

It all started when the Giants' outfield went viral for a hip-thrusting celebration after a win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gilbert, who played for Vitello at Tennessee from 2020 to 2022, was especially enthusiastic with his moves—so much so that the celebration caught the attention of the skipper.

Before Tuesday night's game against the Dodgers, reporters asked Vitello about the now-famous celly. The first-year manager smiled but kept it brief, calling the outfielders a "close-knit group" before revealing that "there was a meeting."

The message was received loud and clear. After another win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, the Giants' outfield traded the hip thrusts for a classy bow—a clear sign that Vitello's "fun police" intervention worked.

But the celebration didn't die entirely. Across the league, the New York Mets' outfield—featuring rookies AJ Ewing and Carson Benge—debuted their own version of the hip thrust on Tuesday night. The move actually originated with Mets first baseman Pete Alonso (now with the Baltimore Orioles), who brought it to New York. Alonso was teammates with Giants outfielder Harrison Bader in 2024, which likely explains how the celebration made its way to San Francisco.

As for Gilbert and the Giants? We'll see if the bow becomes their new signature—or if the hip thrust makes a comeback when Vitello isn't looking.
