Toronto FC forward Sebastian Giovinco was all smiles after scoring his 21st goal of the season, paying tribute to his city's baseball-playing neighbours, the Toronto Blue Jays, by stirring a pot of his own.

Giovinco smacked the wall off a free kick that deflected past Philadelphia Union goalkeeper Andre Blake ...

Giovinco followed it up with the Blue Jays' signature celebration, originally popularized by rap artist Lil B.

Lil B approved, too:

The AL East-topping Blue Jays have captured the hearts of Toronto fans by clinching a playoff spot for the first time in 22 years.

Toronto FC is also chasing a historic first playoff appearance; should the Reds defeat the Union, and Montreal wins or draws against Orlando, Toronto FC will secure its first postseason berth in franchise history.
