The Bat Flip Returns
NY Post: A feud simmering since Jose Bautista’s bat flip in last year’s AL Division Series boiled over into a wild brawl in the final game of the season between Toronto and Texas, a 7-6 victory for the Rangers on Sunday.

Baseball never forgets.
Upon further review... Odors foot appears to be off the bag, making Bautista appear safe at second.
It was not safe @ second @ all for that hot dog bat flipper. Prince got drilled in the hip after this incident. He didn't whine or charge the mound. Prince understands the unwritten rules. He smiled, jawed a bit, and went to 1st. Both pitchers were righteous. The bat flipper hot dog took a 95mph in the ribs, Prince took one in the hip.
This should be the end of it. As long as that jug eared bat flipper doesn't hot dog it again.
David Ortiz has been known to flip a few bats. He's red hot right now. Let's just hope he doesn't do one while they are playing so well.
Damn, even his ancestors felt that right cross. Loved the fact that he followed up with a glove hit as he was going down.
Lem, I detest all the bat flipping, hot dogging, etc. We need some Drysdale's, Gibson's, to get these asshole's minds right. You usually only have to drill a mofo once. Bautista won't bat flip again, at least against Texas.
That was a great punch. It reminds me of the first time I ever got punched in the face.
New Years Eve 2006ish, went to a friend of a friend's place in Queens with my group of pals. One of my group was going to school in a Carolina, I forget which, and so he was well acclimated to the warm weather. This was a particularly chilly NYE, and we had roof access.
I love the cold, especially when I was drinking at a party and all fired up. So I hung out on the roof for over an hour, ya know just.. chilling...
Anyway, I was ready to go in, and so I did. I found my group of friends, and shoved into their circle. My hands felt like they were literally ice. SO, seeing a great opportunity, I (being on his left) stuck my right hand up the guy's shirt back and put an icy palm in between his shoulder blades.
INSTANT reaction as he whipped around and cracked me in left jaw with solid contact. I looked at him and was just like,"Really?". My face was numb so I didn't feel it. He said SORRY, I thought you put an ice cube down my shirt. To which I respond REALLY? YOU'D punch me in the face for an ice cube?
Good times. That night our group crashed at someone's Aunt's sweet pad in NYC, I got a couch. Guy who punched me split a bed with the nephew, and the fourth guy went to another couch.
I got up early because that's what I do those party nights. I guess I hadn't drank myself to death that time. So being the first one up, I went to the bedroom and jumped onto the bed right in between the two guys.
WELL I woke them up and immediately upon righting himself, I got punched squarely in the nose this time. Two punches from the same person in less than 24 hours! I'm now bleeding pretty steady as I run to get over a sink. I got a drop or two on that nice white bedspread. Sorry.
It all turned out well. We got breakfast, train back to Jersey, back to regular life. Good times.
I am so old I remember when Americans played baseball.
I thought my tweet was better than just one like... But. What are you going to do?

Haha. Love baseball!
Steg, Classic Jersey dude going to the City story. Thanks for taking the time to relate it.
