Koji Uehara celebrates ALCS win by spanking David Ortiz (GIF)

You wouldn't exactly call the Red Sox 1-0 victory over the Tigers a spanking but, after the game, there was a little open hand-on-butt action to be seen.

After closer Koji Uehara shut down the Tigers in the bottom of the ninth to close out the game, nobody seemed happier for Uehara than David Ortiz who hoisted the Japanese star onto his shoulders and trucked him around the infield. Uehara thanked him in turn with an enthusiastic spanking.

Call it a low five.

The Fifty Shades of Grey treatment might be payback for the lap-dance Uehara gave Ortiz after the Sox won the ALDS last week (GIF below).

It's nice to see such bonding in the clubhouse.
