Dancing Marlins kid returns, shows off new moves during win over Phillies
Jonathan Esponda went viral last week.
When a Vine of the 8-year-old showing off his ridiculous moves during a Miami Marlins game surfaced, Esponda became an internet sensation. People even wondered if the short video was a hoax. It turns out the moment was real and occurred sometime during the 2013 season. The clip is currently played at Marlins Park to fire fans up. And Tuesday night, during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the young fan returned to the ballpark — and didn't disappoint.
