The Miami Marlins are riding a high after their unlikely win over the New York Yankees. With heroes emerging from the Florida franchise’s win over the Pinstripes, they aren’t missing any opportunities to celebrate. While the Marlins are celebrating all the expected ways, they may have also found an unlikely collaborator.

The Miami Marlins celebrated an unlikely 8-7 walk-off win against the Yankees on Sunday, scoring 5 runs in the final frame. Marlins hero Jake Burger, made merry of the Yankees bullpen, snagging the winning runs. As he made his way back to the locker room, he found himself at the end of an almost natural promotion.

Miami Marlins Star Wins Over Fans with Iconic Celebration

Miami Marlins star, Jake Burger was traded to the franchise in a shock move on Deadline Day after having spent most of his career with the Chicago White Sox. But the star is wasting no time in endearing himself to the Florida franchise faithful.

Trailing by as much as 5 runs at a point in the game, the Marlins staged an unlikely comeback to snatch victory in the game. Burger was the unlikely hero driving in the winning effort. With the star’s name bearing uncanny resemblance to an American staple food, Burger King lost no time in making the most of the moment with a promotional event.

The Miami Marlins took to social media to mark the momentous occasion tweeting, “Someone wake up baby burger and tell him dad just walked it off.” The post also saw a picture of Burger’s family taking in the occasion of the star walking it off.

But the White Sox’s loss seems to be the Miami Marlins’ gain as they attempt to make a post-season run. If even through the NL Wild Card Spot. While it will be a tough fight to the post-season, with Burger hitting form, the Marlins could make it there.
