Stars jab Maple Leafs over ALDS incident; Toronto fires back with Bautista bat flip
Early in the first period of the Dallas Stars-Toronto Maple Leafs game on Tuesday, the Jumbotron at Dallas's American Airlines Center showed a large picture of a crying baby with a note directed at Maple Leafs fans.
The barb concerned the ugly incident during ALDS Game 5 between the Blue Jays and Texas Rangers in Toronto when Jays fans began chucking beers onto the field after a controversial call in the seventh inning. During that meltdown, a baby in attendance got sprayed with beer, which resulted in a man getting charged with mischief.
Pretty nice reference there, however Dallas unwittingly set itself up for Toronto's ultimate Trump (TM) card:

Yep. Jose Bautista's monster 3-run jack in the bottom of the seventh, sealed with a flip, that sent the Jays to the ALCS.

"I wish you could have heard my thoughts in that moment," Bautista explained of that moment recently. "It's the closest I have ever felt to being a superhero. I felt like I was Batman, and the villain had the girl dangling off the edge of the building."
