GIF: Team Italy shows world how to celebrate homer

Team Italy DH Chris Colabello hit an opposite-field homer against the Dominican Republic on Tuesday and greeted his teammates at the plate like only the Italians can — with a kiss-it-goodbye celebration.

Colabello's 3-run shot off of Edinson Volquez gave the surprising team from Italy a chance to show off what looks they've been practicing for a while.

The bello momento and near upset was short lived, after Team Italy blew a four run lead, and the DR rallied to a 5-4 WBC win.
