Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Taylor Walls made headlines with his unique celebration inspired by former President Donald Trump after hitting a double against the New York Yankees. However, Walls clarified that the gesture was not meant to be a presidential endorsement.
In an interview before the Rays’ game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Walls discussed how Trump’s reaction to an assassination attempt was inspiring to him. He admired Trump’s strength and character in the face of danger.
Despite the attention his celebration received, Walls stated that he is unlikely to repeat it after a hit, as it was more of a joke among his teammates. He also hinted at his political views, mentioning how he and his family coordinate on such matters.
