Starling Marte celebrated making a catch by dancing with the pitchers in the bullpen

Pirates broadcaster Greg Brown regularly announces Starling Marte highlights by shouting "It's a Marte part-ay!" Against the Reds on Saturday night, Marte actually had his very own outfield party. 
After catching Curt Casali's fly ball in the bottom of the fifth, Marte was called by the relievers in the bullpen. Rather than ignoring them and heading back to the dugout, Marte must have heard Lee Ann Womack's voice in his head: "I hope you dance," it said and Marte said "OK." 

Womack would be proud.
