The Detroit Tigers may not be having the greatest of seasons record wise but that does not mean they are not playing their hearts out and having fun while doing so.
That showed on Wednesday night in Minnesota when Tigers RF Nicholas Castellanos blasted his 18th home run of the season in the top of the 1st inning.
Take a look as Castellanos realizes he has hit a home run and flips his bat like many have done before him and many will do going forward. But the bat flip itself is not what is awesome about what you are about to watch. Take a look as the home plate umpire snatches the flying bat out of the air as if he was ready for it all along.
