Chris Davis is so hot that even umpires are looking for high-fives. After Davis’ go-ahead two-run double in the eighth inning of Wednesday night’s 4-2 win over the White Sox, second base umpire Rob Drake held up both hands and, at least to fans on TV, appeared as though he was looking for some love from baseball’s home run leader.

In actuality, Drake was granting timeout for Davis, but it’s much more fun to imagine him wanting a high five. Who wouldn’t right now?

Thanks to the2belo on Reddit for pointing this out and valkz0r for creating the GIF.
