(AP) – The Minnesota Twins are no stranger to unique home-run celebrations.
Last season, the team introduced a fishing vest and toy fishing pole to the dugout.
This year, it’s none other than a midwestern delicacy — the summer sausage — fueling the Twins’ eight-game winning streak.
Hitting coach David Popkins brought a tangy summer sausage into the dugout and beckoned his players to tap it.
The presence of the sausage ignited a flurry of hits in Anahiem, including back-to-back homers.
After Carlos Santana homered in the eighth, Ryan Jeffers tossed the sausage to the first baseman and the home-run celebration was born.
