If you enjoyed Bautista's bat flip, you've gotta see this one
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista's bat flip in the ALDS sent shockwaves throughout MLB. Over the weekend a tremor of similar magnitude hit South America.
The epicenter of the quake: former major-leaguer Jesus Guzman.
Playing for Leones del Caracas in the Venezuelan Winter League, Guzman was up to bat in the bottom of the 10th with the score tied at 3 and the bases loaded.
Guzman not only drove in the game-winning run but unloaded the bases with a ball he sent towering over the left-field wall for a grand slam.
The 31-year-old Venezuela native knew it was gone as soon as he hit it and launched his bat 10 to 15 feet in the air, throwing his hands up in celebration before heading to first base to start his triumphant home-run trot.
While Guzman's wins the height contest, Bautista's definitely wins on creativity.
