It was a roller coaster of a Game 5 that included a fluke accident, raining beer cans and a Tulo tush tap (and that was only the 7th inning).Thepicedersistance of that seventhinning,and the game, was Jose Bautista'sthree-run homer and the proceeding batflip.
It was a batflipheard round the world.One for the history books. LiterallyaCanadian Heritage moment.
