You wish you were as cool as Washington Nationals catcher Spencer Kieboom.
Walking to the plate in the fifth inning, Kieboom casually spit out what appeared to be one of his teeth as he entered the batter's box.
This is @KieBOOM22. That's his tooth flying out of his mouth.

He then hammered the first pitch he saw from Philadelphia Phillies hurler Nick Pivetta into the stands for his first career home run.

It turns out Kieboom actually spit out a temporary tooth instead of the real deal, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports. Kieboom lost his actual tooth earlier in the day when biting into a baguette.
