Jose Bautista’s iconic bat flip during Wednesday’s series-clinching win over the Texas Rangers immediately took the sports world by storm.
The MLB’s official Vine of the highlight is already the account’s most viewed clip.
This @JoeyBats19 vine now has had more than 13 million loops, which is a record for an official MLB vine http://t.co/sb63LgcvWZ

The emotional swagger of Bautista’s exclamation point on the dinger reverberated long after the game ended. Salty Rangers players have predictably complained about it. Other players are already doing their best Joey Bats impression. And now, someone has gotten the bat flip tattooed on their body.
