With a division title looking increasingly probable, the Boston Red Sox outfielders have been celebrating their victories of late with some fairly elaborate dance routines, but none of them will be able to top what Mookie Betts did following his club's 2-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.

After the Red Sox extended their winning streak to nine games, reducing their magic number to four, the American League MVP candidate whipped out "The Carlton," pulling it off with such zeal, you'd think Will's cousin from "Fresh Prince" was actually playing right field for Boston in their series opener.

"I saw a couple of Twitter requests for The Carlton," Betts told Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald. "I want to switch it up each time. I may ask Twitter what the next dance should be."
