Jose Bautista inspired the Cubs to practice bat flips

Bat flips for everyone!

by Mark Hinog

Hey, Jose Bautista? That was a really cool bat flip you did on Wednesday.

It was probably one of the best ever. People were hating on you for it, but you didn’t care. You know how awesome it is to flip a bat after hitting a homer.

But did you know you inspired the Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo to do the same at Thursday’s practice?

The MLB playoffs are going to be nothing but bat flips after homers. Thank you for showing everyone the light, Jose Bautista.
