Bat Flip: The Greatest Toronto Blue Jays Stories Ever Told
When Jose Bautista homered and flipped his bat in the 2015 playoffs, Blue Jays frenzy reached a fever pitch not seen since Joe Carter’s 1993 World Series home run.
Those two home runs still bring tears and chills to Jays fans. And each season, each game, each at bat holds triumphs, heartbreaks and surprises of its own.
In Bat Flip, editor Keith McArthur curates the very best writing about the Toronto Blue Jays, from the tragic postscript to Doug Ault’s 1977 opening day heroics to John McDonald’s emotional Father’s Day tribute.
This collection brings together writing from players, journalists and fans. With a cast of characters that includes heroes, zeros, cheats and liars, Bat Flip is a must read for every Toronto Blue Jays fan.

Pretty quick read that Toronto Blue Jays fans will find enjoyable. It is a collection of stories and articles from various outlets and other books placed in chronological order. I didn't learn a lot of new information here, but I'm definitely happy that it's part of my collection and it did what I intended it to: get me jacked up for the start of another Jay's baseball season.
