After Alec Burleson hit a home run Sunday afternoon, players in the St. Louis Cardinals' dugout grabbed their ears and held up fists like Donald Trump did after getting shot last weekend.
, designated hitter Alec Burleson took starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach deep for a solo home run. As Burleson was trotting around the bases, the Bally Sports broadcast cut to the Cardinals' dugout and showed multiple players holding their right ears and raising up their left fists.Whether or not it was intentional, the gesture looked eerily similar to the one former United States president Donald Trump made following his assassination attempt on July 13.
The Cardinals went on to defeat the Braves 6-2, claiming the series victory over their National League foes. Burleson finished the day 2-for-5 with two RBI and one run. Burleson, a 25-year-old from North Carolina, was a top-five prospect in St. Louis' farm system entering 2023. After a lackluster rookie campaign last year, the outfielder is now batting .294 with 18 home runs, 59 RBI, seven stolen bases, an .824 OPS and a 1.4 WAR in 2024.Follow Fastball on FanNation on social mediaSam Connon is a Staff Writer for Fastball on the Sports Illustrated/FanNation networks.
