Chloe Holliday shares Jackson Holliday's playoff celebration: "First Clinchmas"
After the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees in the series opener, Jackson Holliday's team ensured they were going to play in October for the second consecutive season.
Holliday, 20, had to celebrate appropriately, skipping adult beverages. Because he was still under the legal drinking age, the Orioles set up a birdbath fountain for him in a corner of the room. The hamper had champagne-style bottles of water, baby bottles, and a youth-sized No. 7 jersey.
Chloe reshared the post on her Instagram, with a note that read:
"We’re Happy Hollidays!!! First Clinchmas! GO"
Though the Orioles rookie stayed away from the celebration for the most part, enjoying from a distance, his teammates asked him to spray a bottle of his own, which was “0.0% alcohol for Orioles under 21.”
Holliday ended the celebration by saying he would be able to drink next year, as he would turn 21 by then.
