England fans rally around Braves' Michael Harris II after World Cup win

[ASFN Admin]

England fans were buzzing Wednesday after Harry Kane led a comeback win over DR Congo in the World Cup. They kept the celebration going at the Atlanta Braves game later that evening, and decided to direct their energy toward one player: outfielder Michael Harris II.

The fans devised several chants to use throughout the eventual win over the St. Louis Cardinals, from "Walking in a Harris wonderland" to "Baseball's coming home again, with Michael Harris." The 2022 NL Rookie of the Year clearly appreciated the love, as he threw the fans a ball during one of their chants.

Harris even posted a Kane GIF after the game to express his appreciation.
