"Bro was flabbergasted for a moment" "I was yelling at the TV why aren’t they hyping him up!" - Fans love New York Yankees dugout giving the silent treatment after teammates first homer of season

The New York Yankees' hot streak is showing no signs of slowing down, with an offensive explosion coming against the Chicago Cubs. Included in this explosion of offense was the first home run of the season from catcher Kyle Higashioka, who has struggled offensively this season.

With a batting average of .148 on the season, Kyle Higashioka is not the same offensive powerhouse as teammates Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, but his team upheld a time-honored tradition after his home run.

A video of the home run and the subsequent silent treatment from the New York Yankees dugout was posted to Twitter by Talkin' Yanks.

This tradition goes back a long way in MLB history, and makes a cool moment all the more special. It shows that this New York Yankees team has a special bond, and they legitimately care about each other, the mark of a great team.
