José Bautista's Bat Flip Heard Around The World!

October 14, 2015: Blue Jays legend José Bautista hammers a go-ahead, three-run shot in a wild 7th inning of Game 5 in the 2015 ALDS against Sam Dyson and the Texas Rangers. Bautista would then deliver the greatest bat flip of all-time in celebration as the Blue Jays won, 6-3.

The bat flip and the bomb was amazing no doubt but i think what truly makes this moment iconic forever is that crowd man. That stadium literally erupted

[axg]

not even a jays fan but i get goosebumps every time i watch this. legendary moment in this beautiful sport

[SayTaxo]

You have to watch the whole game running up to this point to really understand the emotions of everyone in this scene!

This has to be one of the best moments in baseball ever.

Seven years ago today, the best moment I’ve ever witnessed on live television occurred. God, I miss that team.

One of the most iconic baseball moments ever

The best bat flip ever and the Blue Jays crowd went bananas went nuts and crazy.

Greatest bat flip ever ... what a moment.

Still get goosebumps watching this. Incredible. Go Jays!

[MrNicolino]

That's what you call a once in a lifetime moment. If you've ever played ball you dream of something like this.

I still get goosebumps when seeing this. Amidst the insane cheering, that lower pitch just after the hit is forever engrained in my mind. Damn shame they couldn't get it done that yr.
Go Jays Go

I just saw a bat flip between San Diego and Philadelphia. It reminded me of Jose;, I remember it clearly. Spontaneous and brilliant! Not to be recreated, but mimicked.. In my opinion, one of the most brilliant moments of baseball. Thank you baseball!

Best moment in baseball ever. The whole inning was the best ever !

[JClass]

THE most EPIC sporting moment in MLB history. I was there. The Skydome and the Jay’s fans registered on the Richter scale. It, to this day, still gives me chills. The ticket I will forever hold on to. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

THANK YOU FOR THIS

I have been searching since the day it happened for a copy of Dan Shulman's call. Had seen the TV broadcast later and found the great Jerry Howarth's call, but Dan's was the broadcast I heard live as it happened. Outside building a deck with my dad and we had the radio on, and either Dan or the colour commentator (don't recall who was with him that day) had just mentioned some random stat or relayed a story about whatever, as they often do between pitches on the radio, and just as the story ends, the pitcher delivers and Shulman quickly jumps back in with "the one one, Bautista, DRIVES IT!" and you could hear the absolute pandemonium in the stadium.

Been looking for this forever, thanks Blue Jays!

I love how once it registers in everyone's head that it's gone, the vocal eruption is insanely ridiculous....love it ⚾️

People bumps on top of goose bumps, this is one of the most awesome moments in all of sports ever!!! That Toronto crowd erupting is sooo moving!!! This gives me happy tears just like the 2012 Manchester City goal, 2008 Jason Lezak Anchor leg come back in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And possibly my favorite moment and call ever from Chad Salmela in the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, Jessie Diggins "HERE COMES DIGGINS" Cross Country Skiing. <-- Dodger Fan, Liverpool Fan. :) Cheers. 😄

22 years of frustration let out in that moment...if you were there or if you were watching, you know how it felt

That game is why people watch sports

[EmperrHrde]

The *moment* the ball left the bat, everyone immediately knew it was a home run.

[BrotherFoxx__YTstudent]

in 2024 this moment still gives me chills!!!! I remember being there to witness that and seeing grown men in tears but can you blame that that moment was like a outer body experience.
