Watch this baseball player's priceless reaction when entire stadium goes full 'Baby Shark'

🎶What's going on, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo?🎶

There are a couple constants in baseball — absolutely no crying, the beer should be cold enough to give your hands freezer burn, and you will hear "Baby Shark" at some point during the game.

Sure, there's nothing more exhilarating than getting thousands of people to stomp and clap in time to "We Will Rock You" or yell "BUM BUM BUM" during "Sweet Caroline." But those songs have worn down stadium loudspeakers for long enough — it's time to flex fingers and all collectively show off our chomping game to the other team. In the name of baseball, of course.

It doesn't look like we've lost the ability to go absolutely wild for "Baby Shark," especially if Nationals Park is any indication.

When the Washington Nationals faced the Atlanta Braves on Monday night, the whole stadium, and even the home dugout, started chomping their arms when Gerardo Parra hit the field. (Since June, "Baby Shark" has been his walk-up song.)

However, Braves first baseman, Freddie Freeman wasn't quite feeling the sharky spirit.

We can only imagine what was running through his mind — how did all of these people collectively learn these dance moves? Is this some kind of weird cult?

We feel you, Freddie. It's a little wild how quickly we've all accepted "Baby Shark" into our daily lives. But like a lukewarm hot dogs at the game, it's inevitable.
