Brewers ban high fives to avoid spread of pink eye: Report

The Milwaukee Brewers will have to find a new way to celebrate for the next few spring training games since the team has banned high fives to avoid the spread of pink eye.



Catcher Jonathan Lucroy and pitching coach Rick Kranitz became the latest victims Thursday. They will be staying home for 48 hours in hopes of stopping the spread of the annoying and highly contagious malady.

“We’ve been going through it for a while and it seems like a couple of more show up every day,” manager Ron Roenicke said.

The team won’t high five, low five, fist bump or touch each other until the outbreak is over.

But that still leaves the Selfie High Five.

Jake Lamb gets silent treatment after first home run, high fives imaginary teammates (VIDEO)

We've seen it plenty of times before. A hot-shot rookie gets called up, teammates wait for things to happen and bingo — nothing.

Jake Lamb had worked his way through the minors before being called up to the Diamondbacks on Aug 7. and, after a slow start in the majors, the 23-year-old third baseman finally launched his first home run over the center field fence Saturday night

After rounding the bases, Lamb received the customary silent treatment in the dugout after his first big league dinger. So, instead of being ignored by the D-backs players, Lamb high-fived his own imaginary teammates before the real ones came around and gave him a hearty congratulations.


Just don't eavesdrop on Lamb's conversations with his new invisible friends.

One Lakers fan leaves Dwight Howard hanging on high five (VIDEO)

When Dwight Howard was walking off the court after the first half of his return to Staples Center Wednesday night, the Los Angeles pariah still managed to get a few high-fives from fans — all except one.

Watch the one guy pull his hand back in a classic case of “psych.”


Howard ended up slapping five with his teammates though, after the Rockets cruised to a 134-108 win over the Lakers
