What happened: A wave of England supporters at an Atlanta Braves game latched onto center fielder Michael Harris II, breaking into a chant for him after England's win over DR Congo. The Braves' account leaned into the moment, telling Harris he now has his own chant.

Why it matters: Cross-sport, cross-Atlantic fan crossovers are rare, and a traveling England crowd embracing a homegrown Braves star hands the club an organic marketing spark. It also raises Harris's profile with an international audience beyond MLB's usual reach.

What to watch: Watch whether the chant carries through the rest of the Braves' homestand and whether Harris acknowledges his new following.
