A sidenote-to-a-sidenote in the Indians renaming thread deserves some exploration:
Besides the bat flip, a few obvious ones:
- the David Freese game-tying triple, 2011 WS Game 6
- David Ortiz grand slam / torii hunter wall flip, 2013 ALCS Game 2
- David Ortiz post-bombing speech to Fenway
- the Alex Gordon play with 2 outs in 2014 WS Game 7, where they held him at 3rd
- 2016 WS Game 7 could have a half dozen, but let's nominate Rajai Davis's 2-run HR off Aroldis Chapman to tie it in the 8th
Feel free to re-mention anything already mentioned; I'll have to narrow the list to 10 for the poll, so multiple-nominees will get prioritized.
Let's answer this question. Now taking nominations for anything 2010-present.If you’re talking post-2000, then [the Blue Jays] have not done much of interest, although I’d argue the Jose Bautista bat flip as the most iconic baseball image of the past decade. (Not sure what number two on that list is.) <...>
