Of course, that bat was going to get flipped. “It's part of this New Age baseball thing that's happening,” the 40-year-old said after Tuesday night's 7-6 victory. “It started in winter ball a few years ago. It's just kind of giving a little bit of your own flavor to the game, a little bit of celebrating the excitement of getting a hit.”
