As a normal person, it’s difficult to imagine myself doing most things professional athletes do with ease while engaged in competition. But breaking a baseball bat over my knee in disgust may be the most far-fetched. Anyone who has ever tried to replicate [autotag]Bo Jackson[/autotag]’s signature move learns one thing: it hurts badly.
[autotag]Chris Davis[/autotag], burly [autotag]Baltimore Orioles[/autotag] first baseman and home run enthusiast, is not like the rest of us, though, and showed it Monday night by obliterating his hitting instrument after a strikeout.
The bat snapped as if it were made out of balsa wood.
This, of course, was a righteous killing because we all know it’s always the bat’s fault when a hitter strikes out. Good riddance.
