WATCH: New York Yankees wives and girlfriends turn the tables on Josh Naylor, hit his 'rock the baby' HR celebration following Yankees series victory over Guardians
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow, and Cleveland Guardians designated hitter Josh Naylor felt the heat against the New York Yankees.
Rewind to Sunday’s Game 4 between the New York Yankees and the Guardians, Josh Naylor celebrated his solo home run with a "rock the baby" gesture, referring to pitcher Gerrit Cole and his kin. However, the celebration went in vain as his team ultimately lost the game.
The Yankees paid very little heed and did not react much when Naylor mocked Cole. But after putting an end to the Guardian's season in Game 5, the Yankees had the last laugh.
Revenge was on the minds of the Yankees and everybody associated with the team. The stadium erupted in a “Who’s Your Daddy?” chants as Naylor made his way out for his first at-bat during Game 5.

Yankee's wife and girlfriend joined in on the fun, too, after the team from New York progressed to the ALCS finals. High up in their private suite, the wives and girlfriends of the Yankee players filmed a video of the entire group rocking the baby in unison. A fitting farewell to Naylor and his antics.

Elizabeth Torres, Noel Gonzalez and Rosmaly Severino were among those trolling Naylor after an easy 5-1 win in the Bronx on Tuesday.
Gleyber Torres also mocked the celebration upon completing the final out of the second on Tuesday. It was the ultimate payback for Naylor, who may now be regretting celebrating too early.
