Today in Blue Jays History: The Bat Flip

Eleven Years Ago Today: Between this moment and Joe Carter’s iconic home run, I can’t decide which stands out as my favorite in Blue Jays history. You probably recall the details, but from the recap: The top of the 7th was nuts. I’m not sure I can explain it all. Aaron Sanchez came in, replacing Marcus Stroman (who was just terrific), with the score tied. He gave up a leadoff single to, of course, Roughed Odor. Chris Gimenez bunted him to second. He got to third on a groundout to Delino DeShields (great play by Josh Donaldson).
