The New York Yankees have been the bad boys of baseball for a long time. They've been crticised for buying their way to success, to cheating, and to generally doing anything it takes to win - even if it isn't fair.
Lately, the Yankees have shown a lighter-hearted side. They've been enjoying success towards the end of the season and clinched a playoff spot over the weekend. They genuinely seem to be having fun playing baseball, as well as celebrating their success

Pretty entertaining, the problem is it may not be an original Yankee idea. Did the bad boys of the Bronx steal this celebration off of the Cubs, who have been doing similar jigs for months?
