If it was the bottom of the 9th there would be the whole weird crazy thing they do at the plate trying to rip the guy's clothes off. Somehow that's okay. I guess I just don't understand the hardcore baseball traditionalists, but I'm the same way with hardcore hockey traditionalists. Let the players show some emotion.
I loved the bat flip. It wouldn't have made sense in many other situations, but that moment was as charged as I've ever seen in sport.
