Which professional team first introduced the high five?

The high five was invented by Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Glenn Burke when he spontaneously high-fived fellow outfielder Dusty Baker after a home run during a game in 1977. Baker's rookie teammate Glenn Burke was waiting for him on deck, and as Baker crossed home plate, Glenn put his arm high in the air, and Dusty didn't know what to do, so he slapped it.
As Baker was rounding the bases, a young rookie came out and just spontaneously threw his hand up in the air, and slapped Baker five, says Mike Jacobs, director of Grantlandâs short documentary, 30 for 30: The High Five. That young rookie was Glenn Burke, outfielder number 12 for the Dodgers. Jacobs says Burke was a young and enthusiastic baseball player, who was just excited to be playing in a major league. He enjoyed making his teammates laugh. The Dodgers rallied around the high five and they even trademarked it, says Jacobs. They made these fliers that they handed out for spring training in the 1980 season. The Dodgers and their fans eventually moved on. Burke soon found himself out of favor in the Dodgers organization, amidst rumors of his sexual orientation, says Jacobs.
