Victor Martinez was so happy about getting on base that he could (and did) kiss Marwin Gonzalez

First base: It's the site of all kinds of shenanigans, including David Ortiz's pop-up massage parlor and various pigeon visits. But during Friday's Astros-Tigers game, it was the site of a very sweet moment between Victor Martinez and Marwin Gonzalez.
In the bottom of the first inning, the Tigers were down, 2-1. Then, Victor Martinez singled, and we're guessing he was pretty happy about it, because this is what happened next:

Awwww.
And even though the Astros would go on to lose the game, 14-6, we're pretty sure Gonzalez would rather have the Tigers DH on first base than a random bird guest:
