Wife of Royals’ Lucas Erceg jumped on new TikTok craze with a closer’s mentality
It’s not quite on the level of the old but hilarious “Grimace Shake” trend, but people are sharing lists of their “top five horror movies” on TikTok.
The twist on this isn’t a gruesome death that would make you grimace. This is just a list of five that doesn’t actually include horror movies.
Emma Erceg, the wife of Royals relief pitcher Lucas Erceg, posted a video with her favorite horror movies, but it was actually just things that would irk any bullpen member. This is a pitcher’s wife edition.
- In play, run(s)
- Lead-off walks
- Ghost runner in extras
- Bloop hits
- Postgame interviews
The video includes Erceg holding the couple’s 4-month-old daughter, Elsie Marie.
Lucas Erceg said he unknowingly helped with the video.
“She was asking me stuff I hated about coming out of the bullpen,” he said.
Emma wrote this with the post: “life of a pitchers wife 🤪” And this is a fun post.
