Blastoff in Rocket City!

On a rainy Wednesday night, Caleb Hamilton hit a homer that was out of this world, tying the game for the Rocket City Trash Pandas. In the second inning, 29-year-old Hamilton sent the ball soaring in their game against Birmingham, turning Toyota Field into his own personal space station. The game ended with a 5-2 victory for Rocket City, but it wasn't just the win that had fans talking.

Following a tradition that's as cool as it is quirky, the Trash Pandas turned their home run celebration into an astronaut's parade. The batter makes his way through the dugout like he's heading to a rocket, exchanging high-fives as if he's on the way to pull off a lunar landing! This unique celebration has become a signature move, showing the team's fun side and sending their spirits – and their fans' excitement – sky-high.
