West beats East in Perfect Game High School Classic, then BOTH teams celebrate

We've seen winners celebrate before. It's great. It's mesmerizing. But have you ever seen a losing team do the same thing?

The West beat the East 8-6 in the Perfect Game All-American High School Classic on Sunday at Petco Park. It's an annual tournament that pits some of the best high school players in the country against one another. After the final out, the winning dugout ran out on the field to mob their pitcher. Classic dog pile.

The East players, seeing that the West were having so much fun, decided to join in on the mound celebrations. It was a cool moment that showed these young players, win or lose, were simply grateful to be playing ball in a big league stadium at such a high level. Also, who doesn't love a good dog pile?
