Hating baseball is a thing football blockheads do to make themselves feel better about their sport dying.

So he gets to hit the game sealing homerun and get a free base for his team next year? Seems very smart of him. I swear baseball players are the biggest pussies of all time. Imagine how much they would cry if they played tennis or golf

In that moment, I thought it fit. If he's doing that after every HR then it's uncalled for.

If there was ever a time for an epic bat flip, it was that HR.

It makes the sport fun, granted he's old but the league is loaded with exciting young talent. Don't frick this up like the NFL.

Act like you've been there before. It wasn't a classy move, or very sportsmanlike.

However, baseball is about as boring as it gets. I loved it.

He has hit a three run homerun in a tie game in the 7th inning in a game 5 to send his team to the ALCS before?

Yeah, it was really interesting when babies were being hit by beer cans thrown from the upper deck. MOAR!

I hate baseball, but it has nothing to do with that.

I love baseball but the unspoken rules stuff can kinda make my roll my eyes.

If I were Bautista I would have done the suck it sign and the Stone Cold Steve Austin beer celebration before I got to second base.

play ball the right way!!! Or... The white way.

It's so annoying. But then the pitcher throws a all at someone's head in retaliation, and that is somehow playing the right way.

Pitchers celebrate just like the pics you posted all the time. Hitters do the same from 2nd after a double and nobody cares. Encarnacion walks the parrot every time he hits a HR. Baseball players don't seem to mind celebrating unless you're doing it from the batters box, so I doubt they'd cry if they played tennis or golf.

So because of the bat flip, people threw beer on a baby?

If anyone is mad about the bat flip, I'd like for them to meet me at Chili's so I can fight them, one by one.
