This is weird. This was a suggested video in my feed for some reason today, and the story behind this is really freaking me out! I watched this game live with my big brother Ronnie, who passed away 2 years ago from pancreatic cancer. I'm a huge Jays fan and Ronnie was 20 times more of a fan than I was. For some reasons , we never really got along, except when it came to watching the Blue Jays. He came over to watch that game at my place that day, which was the first time he had ever done that. So we're watching the game and the 7th inning comes around and we go from being in a major sour mood after the Russel Martin dead ball play, to actually hugging each other for the first time when Bautista hit that 3 run homer. Just over the moon ecstatic! I am, at this moment now, living in the apartment he used to live in. In his old room, watching this video! And, *Today, October 23rd 2022, would have been his 66th BIRTHDAY!!* Happy Birthday! And Rest in Peace bro. 🙏
Beautiful story, one of those moments you hold onto forever. Sports are one hell of a thing, able to make those crazy emotional moments. Peace and love to you my man!
Thank you for sharing your story. That you recognize this to be an amazing coincidence, and took the time to share it with us means that our loved ones are still here with us, even if it is only in our memories.
Great to see him come back and retire with the Jays. I was sitting in the outfield about 50 yards from the ball. The place erupted like an earthquake, I swear you could feel the stadium shaking. We were all jumping up and down hugging total strangers. You would have thought we just won the World Series. I told my wife afterwards (she’s not a big sports fan) that she will likely never experience a better live moment in sports in our lifetime. What a crazy series of events. ❤
I agree. I was sitting in the 200s, and I'll never forget this game. The build up of frustration to exictment in that inning was unreal. There were two guys almost fighting when the beers were being tossed and after Jose hit the homerun they climbed over like 10 rows to hug each other. Then after the game walking back to the subway, all you hear are the "Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose" chants. Great day!
I wish I was there. My husband is not a sports fan. If we're qualifying or in the world series then. Back then we and the raptors were playing. We had a dual program where there was raptors talking. He muted the Jays while they were in a commercial and vice versa. I'm glad that we won over 60 games and the Rays we broke the series. I never thought the Yankee would be number 5 and Orioles #1. But go Jays go. I could only imagine how much the tickets cost
@@DEEPGNOSTICanother pitch clock hater lol. This moment was made because it was game 5 and we went down 1 run because of a fluke throw off the bat. Has nothing to do with a pitch clock.
that's why i don't watch as much of the main season games except for my home team (brewers), but when playoffs come that's always where its at. The playoffs always have this level of intensity. Main season games can have this but its not often, at least for my team. I've been to some really close games before, especially when yelich was on his come up, and the crowd went crazy when he came up to bat with people on. Those are top tier stadium moments for sure.
i actually saw a half inning like that...bartman interference of a fly ball in 2003...and the cubs errors and breakdowns...allowing the marlins to sneak through...
i went to a world cup soccer game ... when a goal got scored the sound was like in this video.... you're screaming as loud as you can but can't hear your voice!
I miss this blue jays team, these guys were exciting to watch even though they didn’t make it all the way through the playoffs, plus I remember watching this game, it was wild.
I really miss Bautista. He was always that guy when things were most dire and emotional, he would come up huge. I wish Jays had a player like that currently, but they don't. That chip and passion he played with his sorely missed. I see some of that in Soto and Tatis Jr though, too bad Jays didn't sign Soto when they could have.
And that epic bat flip - wow! (I grew up an Expos fan) True, in the first meeting between both teams at Texas the following season, Odor unleashed on Bautista in an infamous benches-clearing brawl, since the Rangers' 2B was still sour about this game, and I imagine, about the bat flip... But that's part of the crescendo of emotions unleashed with the stadium-shaking HR...
@@sen6728 Bautista HR was insane, but it is below Joe Carter’s World Series winning walkoff HR for the Jays, (arguably) Kawaii’s shot vs the 76ers, Henderson’s goal in the Summit Series vs USSR and Crosby’s golden goal
Andrus had the toughest inning I’ve ever seen. I had forgotten about this. Biggest 1 inning team collapse ever. Odor huge mistake. Bautista was a BOSS. Thanks for posting

@@oldmandoinghighkicksonlyin1368 most current Jays fans only hopped on the bandwagon in 2015 when the team finally had some relevance again, I doubt most of them have any clue who Joe Carter is.
I think those kids need an aging elite veteran slugger amidst them. Vladdy and Bo thinkin they own the team just isn't working. They need someone they respect who keeps them keeping their socks pulled up kinda thing. It was a bit of an embarrassing season. Vladdy thumpin his chest in game 1 of a 3 game regular season game, after hitting a walk off single. I knew the second I saw it that would come back on him. And Bichette tryin to play hero, not respecting the speed and skill of Springer to make that catch and colliding. Then springer lying there like he got shot and replay showed he took a grazzed forearm off his head. Whopdeedo. GTFU Springer. Even Nick Kyprious was making fun of that a couple days later on hockey central. This current team is soft and if they even had 50% of the grit that 2015 team had, they could make a real run.
One of the most memorable moments of happiness I ever experience. The whole game was tense. I was tweeting from Victoria to a friend in Toronto between plays and working off the stress by cleaning anything I could find! When Bautista's bat made that sound though....everything stopped. An unmistakable sound. I will never forget that moment or the Jays team roster for that year. A moment in history had been made for me forever.
That day was the most fantastic day ever .I will never forget that day .Jose was soooooo great with that bat flip I thought I fall out off my seat .Jose you made history. You will always be number one with your fans and Toronto ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I got to interview home plate umpire Dale Scott about this inning. He said Gibby wanted to "protest everything" and that in all his years umpiring, this the most exciting - and strangest - 45 minutes he'd ever had
This is, and will likely always always be, baseballs defining inning in my life. Watching this live was, well, indescribable. Watching the flip replay for weeks afterward was a source of tearfully laughter. The clip itself doesn't do the inning justice. What a ride this was.
I. Was. Actually... There! I still can't believe I got last minute tickets to this game. Although they were the DEFINITION of nosebleeds (seats with our backs to the cement walls WAY up along the 3rd baseline) and just watching that ball SOAR across our viewpoint was nothing shy of MAGICAL! I will keep this ticket until the day I die and share it with my future kids, grandkids & any baseball fans I know. Too bad I had no time to pull my phone out because we were too busy going absolutely BONKERS over the most WILD game in Blue Jays History. What. A. Moment. #History
yooooo no way I was sitting in the same area as you watching that game with my aunt, incredible game to witness even all the way from the nosebleeds the seats didn't matter, just being able to say "I was there" is special enough
I have much more empathy for the Rangers and their fans now after what happened to us this year. 3 consecutive errors to lose the game. Brutal. Just like blowing an 8-1 lead. Brutal. Sports can break your heart. Don't congratulate yourself too much for someone else's mistakes. Don't berate yourself too much for yours.
Nah all that empathy went out the window 2 minutes after the homer when the Rangers got on their unwritten rules right way to play the game bullshit. The Jays got jacked by a loophole in the rules in a deciding playoff game and then Bautista erased it with a 450-foot homer, they have every right to celebrate.
Thank you for posting this. As someone from the UK who's learning about the game, I find it fascinating to watch. There's so much jargon but I'm slowly getting the hang of it. At least I understand the scoring for the player at bat. And I got to see a 'dinger'! Excellent. 👍😎
June 20th 2023 I just watched Bautista's back flipping home run and must say He was the best! He was my favourite with the Toronto blue jays. I was so disappointed when he was traded!! 😢
This was why baseball is my favorite sport. Reminds me of that crazy Game 6 of the 2011 WS. And Bautista's dinger(and batflip!) was positively epic. For me, there's nothing else in sports like a dramatic home run
I have seen this video dozens of times and get shivers every time I see it. Jose was a beast and I have deep respect for that man !! One of the greatest innings ever played in baseball.
One of the most exciting, sure, but one of the greatest? Not too sure about that haha, it's basically a Rangers blooper reel and one (admittedly clutch) home run. Super exciting given the playoffs atmosphere, but as someone who isn't a fan of either team, I'm surprised to see the amount of lavish praise this inning receives in comments like this.
Goosebumps watching this again. Still get the exact same feeling as that day. Unbelievable stuff!!! I miss that team! I miss Bautista!! So much excitement. 2015 what a turning point!!! 🪐☄️ ⚾️

@@joelsterling1445 Sorry if was a jerk. I just don't know why you brought it up. Has not much to do with 'best inning ever' and maybe I was assuming the wrong intentions.
the top and bottom of this inning was unreal, I was driving in the car listening to the whole thing, I don't usually listen to baseball games on the radio, this one had me spellbound, one for the ages
Best game of all time, the very 1st time watching baseball (I was 7), and if I can remember, my brother, dad, and myself (i think also my dads' parents and his brother also), loved 2015 and 2016, I wonder how you still remember what had happened during these years.
A Royals fan, but watching Batista in a high voltage, feisty mood was as entertaining as watching a Jack Russell terrier create mayhem chasing squirrels and tearing up Kleenex boxes at home. An iconic inning indeed. Molson beer cheers to the Jays for their passionate fan base-- their electricity can even be felt way beyond the Canadian border.
I remember how my blood was boiling after the top of the 7th. Every moment of this inning is etched in my mind. And the exhilaration of that home run. "What a game!" is right. It's the moments in sports we live for. Happens rarely, which makes them so much sweeter. Grats on Nick Taylor having his moment yesterday. Not a shabby 'bat flip' by him too. :)
At the time, several of the camera bays were enclosed platforms attached to sides of the stands. Sure, the stands are made of concrete, but 45,000 fans wildin out literally makes those platforms shake.
UNBELIEVABLE... never will We see anything like that day ... miss all the original players wow ... next yr Blue Jays ... then there is the WOPPING ... 28 run game by Blue Jays... yessss
Andrus was in his head there. But no better feeling in baseball, going yard when ur team needed you. I had a walk off homer my senior year. Down 2 with 2 outs 2-2 count and guy on 2nd/3rd. Lol almost 20 years later i can still remember every second of it. We rallied down 6 with our last at bats. Was my 1st homer that season but i remember coach calling TO and telling me to make sure i touch home plate after i hit it out. I laughed and said "ok coach", since i didn't want my mindset on swing for the fence. Ended up being a no doubter.
I saw this game on TV. That 7th inning was the greatest inning of baseball i have ever seen. With today's time clock rules and disengagement rules, an inning such as this may never happen again!
This moment was so memorable everything was in the right place...the homerun, the batflip, the crowds reaction, even the goal horn that was going off in the stadium. Such a crazy atmosphere to be in
Amazing to see play after play where Rangers took their eyes off the ball and missed catch after catch. They are all excellent athletes, professionals in the playoffs, and it looked to me like the pressure just got to them
I distinctly remember my Cubbies come outta nowhere in 2015 against the Mets and got swept. I was heartbroken. This game I believe may have been after they got swept? Anyway, back then this put a smile on my face when I was full blown depression mode. WOW!
Seen this a million times and still till this day does the exact same thing- Goose Bumps. Crazy thing is I sometimes use it to test myself and I think- “today it wont work or because Im thinking about it I wont get goosebumps”. Im wrong every time- Real, natural, hair standing up on my neck, arms, and legs. Can’t think of anything else that does that for me. Insane inning, Insane game, Insane series. Great team. Can’t help but think what a Whit Merrifield at 2B would have done for them instead of a guy like Goins.
This has the same feeling as John Tavares getting that OT Goal in Game 6 or Kawahi Leonard's famous "Bounce". Toronto sports dreams are made on single highlights like these that last a lifetime
I was at this game and I can say it was the greatest thing I ever witnessed and the loudest crowd I had ever heard. I was in shock as the inning unfolded culminating in the Bautista dinger. I must say I was unaware of the mounting drama caused by the bat flip until I got home........I never even noticed it live.
As a lifelong Braves fan, I have every reason to hate the Blue Jays, but I love them for three reasons: 1) Carlos Delgado 2) Winning the 1993 World Series 3) This inning
Tough to beat Cubs/Indians 8th inning was it? Or 7th and beyond to extra innings in a Game 7 of the World Series but damn, tough to argue your point man. This was incredible
If you’re a jays fan, clearly you were not alive for Joe Carter’s walk off homer against Philly. That was national history in Canada and a seriously underrated moment in playoff history. I watched it live when I was in lil league and it was one of those life defining moments for me. In my mind it should be talked about every time anyone utters the word baseball. But it’s seemingly never talked of.
When I I feel like crap which is often, I watch this inning. Love to see happy, cheering people. I have hugged total strangers as a bystander in similar situations. Sports and Music can be the Great Uniter.
What an inning, hard to believe it's been 7 years already. I remember watching this game live and was so happy when he hit it out of the park, that entire 7th inning was just unrealistic. We unfortunately lost to the royals the next series in the ALCS. 2015 & 2016 were amazing years for the blue jays.
Hard to play against that electric crowd! Tough day for the Rangers, but they've made up for it since then with their amazing World Series win. Congrats from a Toronto fan! 👏 👏
I remember watching this and right when Joey Bats tossed the bat I tossed my hat in the air. Can't wait to see him live getting his much deserving love this month.
@@andre9710 Yeah but man, that punch to the face seemed to damage Bautista internally as well...he just wasn't the same after that and his career dwindled.
@@andre9710You mean like how the Jays did this year (to a mid Twins team) when the Rangers got rings? Jays don’t even have a pennant to show for 2015 or 2016 as they lost the very next round.

Although they were the DEFINITION of nosebleeds (seats with our backs to the cement walls WAY up along the 3rd baseline) and just watching that ball SOAR across our viewpoint was nothing shy of MAGICAL! I will keep this ticket until the day I die and share it with my future kids, grandkids & any baseball fans I know. Too bad I had no time to pull my phone out because we were too busy going absolutely BONKERS over the most WILD game in Blue Jays History. What. A. Moment. #History
Better to be in the moment because that’s once in a lifetime
@@davidnoel7520 No doubt, I wouldn't change a thing. Memories that'll last forever in my head
yooooo no way I was sitting in the same area as you watching that game with my aunt, incredible game to witness even all the way from the nosebleeds the seats didn't matter, just being able to say "I was there" is special enough
Glad you didn't have time to pull out your phone. Better to live in the moment.
Amazing moment. Will never forget it! Can’t believe it’s coming on 10 years soon
RIP ‘22 Jays. You had so much potential.
Other than Joe Carter's hr, this is my favorite Blue Jays moment, and I was at exhibition stadium in 77.
I have much more empathy for the Rangers and their fans now after what happened to us this year. 3 consecutive errors to lose the game. Brutal. Just like blowing an 8-1 lead. Brutal. Sports can break your heart. Don't congratulate yourself too much for someone else's mistakes. Don't berate yourself too much for yours.
Well said
Its a great moment to remember so I don’t know why you have to ruin the moment
Nah all that empathy went out the window 2 minutes after the homer when the Rangers got on their unwritten rules right way to play the game bullshit. The Jays got jacked by a loophole in the rules in a deciding playoff game and then Bautista erased it with a 450-foot homer, they have every right to celebrate.
@@untexan exactly
This was so much worse for rangers fans hahaha
I could watch this every day .........
GET A LIFE.
needed this today. I'm still at a loss for words boys. Part of our journey I guess. Here come the trolls 😪
Yeah same here but hopefully they upgrade the bullpen and we still have a young team
Thank you for posting this.
As someone from the UK who's learning about the game, I find it fascinating to watch.
There's so much jargon but I'm slowly getting the hang of it.
At least I understand the scoring for the player at bat.
And I got to see a 'dinger'!
Excellent.
👍😎
I remember listen to this series on the radio in my early 20's man what a year
June 20th 2023
I just watched Bautista's back flipping home run and must say He was the best!
He was my favourite with the Toronto blue jays.
I was so disappointed when he was traded!!
😢
This was why baseball is my favorite sport. Reminds me of that crazy Game 6 of the 2011 WS. And Bautista's dinger(and batflip!) was positively epic. For me, there's nothing else in sports like a dramatic home run
I like baseball over football any day.

I have seen this video dozens of times and get shivers every time I see it. Jose was a beast and I have deep respect for that man !! One of the greatest innings ever played in baseball.
One of the most exciting, sure, but one of the greatest? Not too sure about that haha, it's basically a Rangers blooper reel and one (admittedly clutch) home run. Super exciting given the playoffs atmosphere, but as someone who isn't a fan of either team, I'm surprised to see the amount of lavish praise this inning receives in comments like this.
Goosebumps watching this again. Still get the exact same feeling as that day.
Unbelievable stuff!!!
I miss that team! I miss Bautista!!
So much excitement.
2015 what a turning point!!!
🪐☄️ ⚾️
iikkkkk
Same here
Saw this game. One of the most amazing innings ever. Rogers Center was LIT! By far the best post season venue in MLB
Angels fan here... just checking in to watch the greatest inning of baseball ever.
2001 WS game 7 9th inning when the dbacks dethroned the Yankees was the best inning ever.
@@gtcazusa Yeah, I am sure it was heartbreaking for their fans (game was in early November because the season was postponed for a few days because of 9/11)
@@joelsterling1445 Yeah and I'm sure that didn't at all affect the Arizona fans either huh. Smart guy. Are you suggesting they lost because of 911 or what? If not why bring it up?
@@gtcazusa You know what, I am done. I will continue to watch videos on RUclips but I will no longer post at all as if that''s how everybody acts, then screw them
@@joelsterling1445 Sorry if was a jerk. I just don't know why you brought it up. Has not much to do with 'best inning ever' and maybe I was assuming the wrong intentions.
the top and bottom of this inning was unreal, I was driving in the car listening to the whole thing, I don't usually listen to baseball games on the radio, this one had me spellbound, one for the ages
Best game of all time, the very 1st time watching baseball (I was 7), and if I can remember, my brother, dad, and myself (i think also my dads' parents and his brother also), loved 2015 and 2016, I wonder how you still remember what had happened during these years.
Still gives me goosebumps. This game was just out of this world!
Did they win the world series?
😊😊
@@agayactornamedmichaeldougl6289n
A Royals fan, but watching Batista in a high voltage, feisty mood was as entertaining as watching a Jack Russell terrier create mayhem chasing squirrels and tearing up Kleenex boxes at home. An iconic inning indeed. Molson beer cheers to the Jays for their passionate fan base-- their electricity can even be felt way beyond the Canadian border.
I remember how my blood was boiling after the top of the 7th. Every moment of this inning is etched in my mind. And the exhilaration of that home run. "What a game!" is right. It's the moments in sports we live for. Happens rarely, which makes them so much sweeter. Grats on Nick Taylor having his moment yesterday. Not a shabby 'bat flip' by him too. :)
What happened in the top of the inning?
I still get goosebumps watching this game/inning.
“A 7th inning you’ll never forget.” Foreshadowing at its finest.
I never watch baseball. Did just now. And what a heck of an inning!! Wow!!!!
"You can only flirt with fire for so long, and it's gonna burn ya." My favourite quote from a sports announcer.
True that 😶
One of the most iconic moments in Blue Jays history.
The Centerfield camera was bouncing like a ping pong ball. Those maniacal Blue Jay's fans had that stadium literally rocking.
Noticed that. Just thought it was sloppy camerawork.
If that stadium is anything like Tulane stadium, fans could make it shake like that
With 41 thousand plus people, I have no doubt the stadium would shake.
At the time, several of the camera bays were enclosed platforms attached to sides of the stands. Sure, the stands are made of concrete, but 45,000 fans wildin out literally makes those platforms shake.
the camera bouncing up and down for some reason makes the atmosphere 10 times better i have no idea why
@repentandbelieveinJesusChrist1 bring it on
I feel so bad for Beltre. He fielded that bunt perfectly, threw a perfect throw to third base, and the shortstop just dropped it.
I know right. Beltre is an all-time great fielder. He must've been absolutely livid.
Dude, the look on Hamels’ face. He had pitched an absolute gem and it was absolutely wasted.
Elvis Andrus may as well have been replaced by the corpse of Elvis Presley
Andrus made THREE errors in that inning!
Amazing half-inning, amazing video. Thanks for uploading this!
I was at that game. The stadium felt like it was a magnitude 5000 earthquake, absolutely insane.
Magnitude 5000? This planet no longer exists!
UNBELIEVABLE... never will We see anything like that day ... miss all the original players wow ... next yr Blue Jays ... then there is the WOPPING ... 28 run game by Blue Jays... yessss
JB thanks for the memories never been a home run like that since Joe Carter jacked one.
Andrus was in his head there. But no better feeling in baseball, going yard when ur team needed you. I had a walk off homer my senior year. Down 2 with 2 outs 2-2 count and guy on 2nd/3rd. Lol almost 20 years later i can still remember every second of it. We rallied down 6 with our last at bats. Was my 1st homer that season but i remember coach calling TO and telling me to make sure i touch home plate after i hit it out. I laughed and said "ok coach", since i didn't want my mindset on swing for the fence. Ended up being a no doubter.
There are so many things I forgot about this inning. Toronto forever Mr Bautista
I saw this game on TV. That 7th inning was the greatest inning of baseball i have ever seen. With today's time clock rules and disengagement rules, an inning such as this may never happen again!
Harold Reynolds' "oh my God" when Andrus drops the third one @ 7:02 is iconic... brutal. What a sport.
Just thinking the same. It was so crazy he forgot he was a commentator for a quick second and was talking like a former player watching at home.

@@Heathcoatman lol and if you actually listen it sounds like he said "gosh" anyway
One of the greatest bat flips in history. Not even a Jays fan or a Rangers hater, just sublime.
The most disrespectful bat flip I've ever seen, very classless!
Lol clueless @@michaelguyea8970
@@sherryl7693 Yes that same attitude got him a shot in the mouth lol.
@@michaelguyea8970 Getting back at the Ranger's players, especially that puke Lindor.
This moment was so memorable everything was in the right place...the homerun, the batflip, the crowds reaction, even the goal horn that was going off in the stadium. Such a crazy atmosphere to be in
Only in a hockey country do you get a hockey goal horn for a home run. 🏒
Jose signs a 1 day Jays contract, his name goes on the Level of Excellence forever, & he retires a BlueJay Saturday!
Amazing to see play after play where Rangers took their eyes off the ball and missed catch after catch.
They are all excellent athletes, professionals in the playoffs, and it looked to me like the pressure just got to them
My favourite inning and game of all time
I distinctly remember my Cubbies come outta nowhere in 2015 against the Mets and got swept. I was heartbroken. This game I believe may have been after they got swept? Anyway, back then this put a smile on my face when I was full blown depression mode. WOW!
I'm a Royals fan but the goosebumps this gives me is insane. This is baseball at its peak. Tear worthy.
Seen this a million times and still till this day does the exact same thing- Goose Bumps. Crazy thing is I sometimes use it to test myself and I think- “today it wont work or because Im thinking about it I wont get goosebumps”. Im wrong every time- Real, natural, hair standing up on my neck, arms, and legs. Can’t think of anything else that does that for me. Insane inning, Insane game, Insane series. Great team. Can’t help but think what a Whit Merrifield at 2B would have done for them instead of a guy like Goins.
That's amazing, man!
Some aspects of this inning brought back memories of the infamous “Bartman” game in Chicago.
This has the same feeling as John Tavares getting that OT Goal in Game 6 or Kawahi Leonard's famous "Bounce". Toronto sports dreams are made on single highlights like these that last a lifetime
I remember that I was watching this at work on my PC, when I first working as a car sales, I still remember that day.
This inning is history 🙌🏽
I was at this game and I can say it was the greatest thing I ever witnessed and the loudest crowd I had ever heard. I was in shock as the inning unfolded culminating in the Bautista dinger. I must say I was unaware of the mounting drama caused by the bat flip until I got home........I never even noticed it live.
These are the moments that make baseball so much fun to watch.
The crowd cheer/noise gave me goosebumps after he hit that ball. What a moment!
Sucks that we lost to Seattle but Ill be back to root for the Jays next season
They were a great team back then
As a lifelong Braves fan, I have every reason to hate the Blue Jays, but I love them for three reasons:
1) Carlos Delgado
2) Winning the 1993 World Series
3) This inning
I will never forget this. I still watch it alot. The best ever!!!!!
This is the best inning in baseball history
Tough to beat Cubs/Indians 8th inning was it? Or 7th and beyond to extra innings in a Game 7 of the World Series but damn, tough to argue your point man. This was incredible
Or the worst. Depending on who you were for.
If you’re a jays fan, clearly you were not alive for Joe Carter’s walk off homer against Philly. That was national history in Canada and a seriously underrated moment in playoff history. I watched it live when I was in lil league and it was one of those life defining moments for me. In my mind it should be talked about every time anyone utters the word baseball. But it’s seemingly never talked of.
Cardinals/Rangers 9th Inning Game 6 2011 WS was better. Texas on the losing end of that one too.
No it was a comedy of errors not a excess of offensive skills. The inning was a gift.
When I I feel like crap which is often, I watch this inning. Love to see happy, cheering people. I have hugged total strangers as a bystander in similar situations. Sports and Music can be the Great Uniter.
What an inning, hard to believe it's been 7 years already. I remember watching this game live and was so happy when he hit it out of the park, that entire 7th inning was just unrealistic. We unfortunately lost to the royals the next series in the ALCS. 2015 & 2016 were amazing years for the blue jays.
I remember watching this game when I was a kid. Get like a highlight of my life at the time watching my team make it further into the playoffs
Let's make some new memoies this season. Let's Go BlueJays in 2023!
Best game ever!!!!!!!!
A badass bat flip done like a boss!
THE BEST BAT FLIP IN MLB HISTORY !! And I’m a Yankees fan !! 😂 We’re happy cause We just got Judge #99 !!
Congrats on Judge!
@@catbriggs8362 Thank you !! 😊
Love that the commentators let the moment breathe when Bautista hit his homerun. The crowd noise was all that was needed in that moment.
major facts
Hard to play against that electric crowd! Tough day for the Rangers, but they've made up for it since then with their amazing World Series win. Congrats from a Toronto fan! 👏 👏
I remember watching this and right when Joey Bats tossed the bat I tossed my hat in the air. Can't wait to see him live getting his much deserving love this month.
Man I love the atmosphere of post season baseball. Nothing like it!
This thing was awesome. One of if not the most legendary bat flip
greatest bat flip
I'd say probably the most epic bat flip ever. But it came at a cost when Bautista eventually got his face rearranged for it.
@@jonnyt16 but then the Jays knocked out Texas again that year😂
Remember the phrase “I would rather get punched in May than knocked out in October“
@@andre9710 Yeah but man, that punch to the face seemed to damage Bautista internally as well...he just wasn't the same after that and his career dwindled.
@@andre9710You mean like how the Jays did this year (to a mid Twins team) when the Rangers got rings? Jays don’t even have a pennant to show for 2015 or 2016 as they lost the very next round.
The baseball gods were with us that day!! What an amazing game.. I remember watching this!
As a Jays fan this inning was glorious.
the clip of him bat flipping and then panning to Goins, goes abosolutely ballistic is one of my most favorite clips in sports history
This was a great Jays team. I miss those guys. None of them left on the team. Great comeback, poor Andrus, must've killed him to let down his team.
2015 and this inning and highlight still hold up.
The single most amazing moment in Blue Jays history....
Yeah that and the fact that they won the World Series on a walk off dinger
Easily number 2 but a walk off home run to win the world series has to be the #1 amazing moment
Dude...Joe Carter would punch you in the face....just sayin'...
