The Unforgettable José Bautista Bat Flip Inning!
Спорт
October 14, 2015: The Toronto Blue Jays rally around José Bautista's iconic Bat Flip to take the lead in the 7th inning of Game 5 of the ALDS against the Texas Rangers. The dramatic inning lasted 53 minutes as the Blue Jays would go on win the game and the series.

This is weird. This was a suggested video in my feed for some reason today, and the story behind this is really freaking me out! I watched this game live with my big brother Ronnie, who passed away 2 years ago from pancreatic cancer. I'm a huge Jays fan and Ronnie was 20 times more of a fan than I was. For some reasons , we never really got along, except when it came to watching the Blue Jays. He came over to watch that game at my place that day, which was the first time he had ever done that. So we're watching the game and the 7th inning comes around and we go from being in a major sour mood after the Russel Martin dead ball play, to actually hugging each other for the first time when Bautista hit that 3 run homer. Just over the moon ecstatic! I am, at this moment now, living in the apartment he used to live in. In his old room, watching this video! And, *Today, October 23rd 2022, would have been his 66th BIRTHDAY!!* Happy Birthday! And Rest in Peace bro. 🙏

Great to see him come back and retire with the Jays. I was sitting in the outfield about 50 yards from the ball. The place erupted like an earthquake, I swear you could feel the stadium shaking. We were all jumping up and down hugging total strangers. You would have thought we just won the World Series. I told my wife afterwards (she’s not a big sports fan) that she will likely never experience a better live moment in sports in our lifetime. What a crazy series of events. ❤

I agree. I was sitting in the 200s, and I'll never forget this game. The build up of frustration to exictment in that inning was unreal. There were two guys almost fighting when the beers were being tossed and after Jose hit the homerun they climbed over like 10 rows to hug each other. Then after the game walking back to the subway, all you hear are the "Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose" chants. Great day!

There were quite a few Blue Jays fans in the bar watching the game but were pretty quiet after the previous inning. Then this happened and they got back into it. Then the José Bautista bat flip happened and they went bonkers.

I think those kids need an aging elite veteran slugger amidst them. Vladdy and Bo thinkin they own the team just isn't working. They need someone they respect who keeps them keeping their socks pulled up kinda thing. It was a bit of an embarrassing season. Vladdy thumpin his chest in game 1 of a 3 game regular season game, after hitting a walk off single. I knew the second I saw it that would come back on him. And Bichette tryin to play hero, not respecting the speed and skill of Springer to make that catch and colliding. Then springer lying there like he got shot and replay showed he took a grazzed forearm off his head. Whopdeedo. GTFU Springer. Even Nick Kyprious was making fun of that a couple days later on hockey central. This current team is soft and if they even had 50% of the grit that 2015 team had, they could make a real run.

I remember listen to this series on the radio in my early 20's man what a year
Seen this a million times and still till this day does the exact same thing- Goose Bumps. Crazy thing is I sometimes use it to test myself and I think- “today it wont work or because Im thinking about it I wont get goosebumps”. Im wrong every time- Real, natural, hair standing up on my neck, arms, and legs. Can’t think of anything else that does that for me. Insane inning, Insane game, Insane series. Great team. Can’t help but think what a Whit Merrifield at 2B would have done for them instead of a guy like Goins.
One of the most iconic moments in Blue Jays history.
My dad brought me to this game when I was 13…. Most insane thing I’ve ever been at. All police, security and anyone in Toronto had to come into the field to try and stop fans from throwing cans / garbage everywhere, they put up messages on the jumbotron for fines of $1000 if you were caught throwing items onto the field etc. best game of my life.

I remember how my blood was boiling after the top of the 7th. Every moment of this inning is etched in my mind. And the exhilaration of that home run. "What a game!" is right. It's the moments in sports we live for. Happens rarely, which makes them so much sweeter. Grats on Nick Taylor having his moment yesterday. Not a shabby 'bat flip' by him too. :)

What happened in the top of the inning?
JB thanks for the memories never been a home run like that since Joe Carter jacked one.
I could watch this every day .........
That was incredible to watch. Everything that happened in that inning plus the bat flip too. The energy of the crowd was electric.
Love that the commentators let the moment breathe when Bautista hit his homerun. The crowd noise was all that was needed in that moment.

Amazing moment. Will never forget it! Can’t believe it’s coming on 10 years soon
Mets fan and this is one of my favorite moments watching the game of baseball.
Hands down best moment in MLB History
This has the same feeling as John Tavares getting that OT Goal in Game 6 or Kawahi Leonard's famous "Bounce". Toronto sports dreams are made on single highlights like these that last a lifetime
Sucks that we lost to Seattle but Ill be back to root for the Jays next season
the clip of him bat flipping and then panning to Goins, goes abosolutely ballistic is one of my most favorite clips in sports history
The peace of mind of Hamels throughout this should be in the Hall of Fame
BAUTISTA HITS A DRIVE, DEEP LEFT FIELD NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
This moment was so memorable everything was in the right place...the homerun, the batflip, the crowds reaction, even the goal horn that was going off in the stadium. Such a crazy atmosphere to be in

Only in a hockey country do you get a hockey goal horn for a home run. 🏒
I still can’t believe Andrus kicked it around 3 times in a row. That guy was a great ball player. But like Harold said, you play with fire, you’re bound to get burned. Epic blast by Joey Bats. I cried when it happened n I still get choked up watching the replay. Legendary Canadian iconic moment.
the top and bottom of this inning was unreal, I was driving in the car listening to the whole thing, I don't usually listen to baseball games on the radio, this one had me spellbound, one for the ages
Haven't watched a baseball game in years. This is nice!
honestly what an impressive job by hamels keeping his composure. 100+ pitches, 2 runs given up going into the seventh inning, and his team does this to thank him😭😭 i’d get kicked off the team before the inning ended
As a die hard Rangers fan, with the World Series curse having been exorcised, I can finally let this moment go along with all the heartache it gave me. I rewatched this now and it didn’t even sting one bit. It’s amazing what a championship can do, best of luck to y’all getting yours.
Amazing half-inning, amazing video. Thanks for uploading this!
This thing was awesome. One of if not the most legendary bat flip

I'd say probably the most epic bat flip ever. But it came at a cost when Bautista eventually got his face rearranged for it.

@@andre9710You mean like how the Jays did this year (to a mid Twins team) when the Rangers got rings? Jays don’t even have a pennant to show for 2015 or 2016 as they lost the very next round.
A lifelong Orioles fan, I have no love loss for Bautista or the Toronto crowd..Ill never forget when Hyun Soo Kim was almost plugged with a full Molson 5.0 can from the outfield stands while he was trying to catch a fly ball
im not even a blue jays fan but i remember watching this game in 2016 and holy shit it was so electric. the circumstances, the stakes, the bat flip, the crowds reaction. still the best bat flip to this day
This inning is history 🙌🏽
Let's make some new memoies this season. Let's Go BlueJays in 2023!
Andrus, WOW! I was dating a girl from Winnipeg, a big time Tellus exec., we were at this game. This was 'bar none' the craziest sporting event I have ever been to in my entire life! Nothing has come close. I often come back to watch this video, so good. ✌
After 9 years stillll....Bautista's Homerun brings tears of joy to my eyes...Blessings..😂
When Jose hit that bomb even the cop was fist pumping. What a moment for this franchise.
I heard just recently that a Rangers player in this game said his jersey was actually shaking from the noise 🇨🇦🇨🇦👍⚾️
I was driving home when this aired and I genuinely ended up pulling over so I could actually watch. Only time I've ever done that, I despise driving and always want to be home asap.
I remember watching this like it was a week ago, but I NEVER knew this was the result of a 2-0 series comeback!!
