Traina Thoughts: Mark Canha Should Be Your New Baseball Hero
Icon Sportswire1. We have another bat flip controversy, but this one ends with a nice twist.
A's outfielder Mark Canha hit a towering dinger against the Giants on Satuday night to give Oakland a lead in the eighth inning, which led to bat flip. It wasn't anything egregious or outrageous. Just a simple bat flip with a little bit of flare.
Because fun isn't allowed in baseball thanks to unwritten rules and the fear of retaliation, Canha quickly apolozied for his bat flip after the game. However, in a surprising -- and beautiful -- turn of events, Canha later took back his apology and called out all the stuck up folks who act like they are Major League Baseball's fun police.
