The "Big Hat" Celebration is taking Atlanta by storm

The Braves dugout celebration is going viral, and you can get in on the action via FOCO!

The best celebrations are the ones that happen spontaneously.

When doing their annual pregame walk through The Battery before the home opener, a fan tossed one of the Braves players a "big hat" - a comically oversized large ball cap, made by a company in Phoenix.

It's now officially a "thing".

The Braves have brought it with them for the season, breaking it out in the dugout after home runs and putting it on the hero of the moment.

It's even made its way to the broadcast booth, as sported by former Braves outfielder and current broadcast analyst Jeff Francoeur.
