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.
