Ender Inciarte presented Atlanta United striker Josef Martinez with the Golden Boot
Atlanta United striker Josef Martinez broke the Major League Soccer single-season record with 31 goals in 2018. On Thursday, the Venezuelan was presented with the Golden Boot trophy for leading the league in goals.
But, it wasn't a league executive handing him the award -- it was Braves outfielder and fellow Venezuelan Ender Inciarte:

A two-time Gold Glove Award winner, Inciarte is no stranger to handling golden sports equipment. He wasn't intimidated by the moment, and even helped his fellow Atlanta star relax and enjoy the honor a little bit more.

With the MLS Cup playoffs underway, we wonder if Inciarte shared any advice from his postseason experience with Martinez.
