Los Angeles Angels rookie outfielder Efren Navarro received the silent treatment from his teammates after hitting his first major league home run during Saturday's game against Detroit.
Navarro took Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander deep to right field for a solo shot to break open the scoring in the second inning. Navarro gave high fives to some coaches on the way down the dugout steps, but found a mostly empty bench, with the exception of Hank Conger, who was looking down at his cell phone.
Of course, it was all a big gag by the Angels, and after a few seconds, they all came around to congratulate him.
