The bat flip has become the go-to move for hitters celebrating some monumental achievement, like actually doing their job and getting a hit.
It’s almost turned into the tackle celebration in the NFL on every single play, as illustrated perfectly by the Boston Red Sox‘ Hanley Ramirez on this … single.

This may sound like an old man, get off my lawn comment, but aren’t these guys paid quite handsomely to, you know, get hits and get on base?
Thought so.
Just do your job and be happy you have one instead of looking for ways to show up others who are just trying to do theirs at every turn.
