Bautista hit a home run: and he has now been called basically every name in the book, hall of famer Gossage called him a "disgrace to the game", he has was hit by a fastball to the ribs, and has been punched in the face.
Tell me who needs "to be the bigger man and let it go". Because it seems like all of baseball is refusing to let Bautista have his moment.

Bautista did nothing wrong, but he could have let it go. At some point someone has to let it go.
He statement to the media would have been "I did nothing wrong but if they feel they need to throw at me on the last day, that's fine, let them be gutless, we've moved on"
Let the Rangers get the brunt of the media backlash today.

I actually thought that by game 7 (4 on TO and 3 in Texas) that the Rangers did let it go. I was shocked when they threw at Bautista, just shows how classless Bannister is. Even his antics getting the crowd going yesterday was classless. Even his requesting the umps review Saunders slide earlier was cheating.
