It’s been a decades long tradition. A college football player makes a sick play and he strikes the Heisman pose. It doesn’t matter what position they play or their odds of actually winning the trophy, the bigger the moment, the longer the pose. The problem, however, is that the Heisman pose only really translates to football. A soccer player or baseball player performing the Heisman just wouldn’t make any sense.
Enter the Captain’s pose.
For the last several years, athletes making the Captain pose has been a trademark of big plays. The latest Captain’s pose is even more special because it involves The Cup.
