Dikembe Mutombo was at the Braves game and you can probably guess what happened next

By Michael Clair

NBA Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo's was known for his defense, his earth-shattering blocks and, of course, the "Not in my house," finger wagging he would do following said blocks. Mutombo, who played five of his best seasons with the Atlanta Hawks,was spotted at the Braves game during Atlanta's 3-2 victory over the Mets on Friday.
What followed next? You have one guess: 

We can only hope Mutombo will make himself a constant fixture in the Braves seats, gleefully slapping home runs and foul balls out of the reach of overly aggressive ball-hungry adults.
