PK Subban will give Jose Bautista ticket to Raptors game for a bat flip
Jose Bautista’s flip against the Rangers during last year’s playoffs was so epic that he’s now being asked to bat flip in exchange for goods.
The Blue Jays began a weekend series against the Red Sox on Friday but did so without one of their best players. Bautista served the one-game suspension handed down as a result of the brawl against the Rangers earlier this month.
With the Raptors and Cavaliers playing Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals in Toronto on Friday, and Bautista needing something to do, the Jays right fielder reached out to P.K. Subban in hopes of securing a ticket.
Hey @PKSubban1 got an extra ticket to the @Raptors game?

The Canadiens defenseman seemed willing to part with the ticket, for a small favor. Subban wanted Bautista to do a bat flip during Saturday’s game. Bautista declined because, well, he doesn’t want to be suspended again.
I'll trade you my ticket for a bat flip tomorrow. Deal ?!?! ☝ https://t.co/M5vyA9QnVK

It’s tough to blame Bautista for turning down the offer, even if it means not being at Air Canada Centre to see what should be a good playoff game in person. I guess you can’t fault Subban for trying either. Since it doesn’t appear Bautista will be bat flipping anytime soon, you can re-watch the greatest one ever here.
