Happy National High-Five Day! Did you know this popular gesture of celebration and camaraderie, is widely attributed to a moment between Los Angeles Dodgers players Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker? Here's the story: On October 2, 1977, after Baker hit a home run, Burke, a rookie outfielder, raised his hand in celebration after Baker's home run, and Baker responded by slapping his hand, creating what is considered the first recorded high-five. This is how journalist Jon Mooallem from ESPN tells the story: It was a wild, triumphant moment and a good omen as the Dodgers headed to the playoffs. To celebrate, go high-five the person nearest you! 🫸 🫷 Image description: Glenn Burke and Dusty Baker high-five on the field. #NationalHighFiveDay
