Professional baseball is BACK. It’s the KBO and it’s playing in the middle of the night here, but who cares? We’ve got pro sports to watch, and we’re going to celebrate that. And why not, in the meantime, celebrate some big ole dingers and bat flips?
A quick caveat just because it’s important: South Korea has successfully limited the spread of COVID-19 due to society-wide testing and strict social distancing measures, which is why they’re able to be back playing pro sports there. We … aren’t that close here in the United States.
Anyway, this highlight comes to us from the opening day of action, when the NC Dinos got their season started off right with a 4-0 win over the Samsung Lions.
The biggest highlight of the game came off back-to-back home runs from the Dinos’ Park Sok-min and Mo Chang-min. The first home run was good, the second — from Mo Chang-min — was an absolute bomb that included a spectacular bat flip.
LOOK UPON IT!
While the announcers were a bit too eager to call it, I’ll admit, it’s exciting. The swing was gorgeous, the home run a certified tater, and the bat flip demonstrative. Sports are BACK!
