Not that this was Joe Carter homering off Mitch Williams to win the World Series, but Jose Batista‘s home run in the ALDS three years ago will go down as one of the most memorable knocks in Blue Jays history. Notably because of Joey Bats‘ epic bat flip that followed…
Happy 3-Year Anniversary, @JoeyBats19! This was the most epic 7th inning in the most epic game with the most epic game-winning home-run followed by the most epic bat flip in Toronto @BlueJays' postseason history! What an electrifying crowd that was at the Rogers Centre! #BlueJays pic.twitter.com/7WfgpX9iRb

Sure it wasn’t the customary flashy bat flip but more of a bat throw that fully encompassed the emotion of the moment. It also pissed off the Rangers to no end which surely is a necessity of a great bat flip in and of itself.
