"Fight! Fight!"
Earlier this month, former United States President Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet in the ear during an assassination attempt. Immediately after he was brought to his feet, Trump sent a message to his supporters by pumping his fist in the air and saying “fight! fight!” And one Major League Baseball star made reference to that moment during a game this weekend.
During Sunday afternoon’s game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees, Rays star shortstop Taylor Walls hit a double at the top of the fifth inning, and he sent quite a strong message to Donald Trump as he celebrated the hit.
As soon as he arrived safely at the bag, Walls pumped his fist in the air and said “fight! fight!” just like Trump did after the assassination attempt.
The video quickly went absolutely viral on social media, racking up more than three million views in less than 12 hours and sparking a lot of reactions and conversation.
Of course, this celebration came just hours after United States President Joe Biden announced that he will no longer be running for re-election and is now endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as she looks to become the first female president in United States history.
But it’s pretty clear who Walls will be voting for.
Still “grazed”
Keep digging.

Baseball, Mom, apple pie. Not exactly what I did my 7 years in the service for but the girls liked all 3 too. Not bad, the boy has got skills. ⚾️
Build the Walls!
RAYS UP!
Tampa Bay won 6-4. So the pump worked. 🙂👍
Both the Rays & Cardinals have raised their stature in my eyes. 🙂👍

Mine as well, and I have a lifetime of despising the Cards as a lifelong Cub fan.
What’s next? Pro athletes standing up for the national anthem??
