The meaning behind Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos’ viral celebration during wild-card win

Nick Castellos sure knows how to send social media abuzz.

Instead, Castellanos was actually showcasing his right ring finger to his teammates while standing on second base after lacing a double during the Phillies’ 4-1 win over the Marlins in Game 1 of their best-of-three wild-card series.He added about the significance of the ring gesture: “That’s why we’re here, man. Red October.”Castellanos had social media buzzing Tuesday night after his fourth-inning double that put two in scoring position with the Phillies ahead, 1-0.

“We were all like, ‘What is that?’ And he was like, ‘I have no clue. That’s the only thing that came out of my mind.”While that would be a funnier story, Castellanos’ explanation makes sense for a Phillies team looking to win it all after falling just short last year. Tuesday’s win featured ex-Met Zack Wheeler throwing 6 ⅔ innings of one-run ball, and Castellanos went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
