Max Muncy continued his assault on opposing pitching Monday night when he belted a go-ahead home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Los Angeles Dodgers fans loved the exclamation point the slugger put on it.
Muncy had a ruthless bat toss after he hit a towering solo shot over the right field wall in the eighth inning. The photo you see below immediately went viral:

What you see in the photo is both sides of sports. Muncy is celebrating — the glory. Chasen Shreve was gritting his teeth — the agony.
Muncy’s homer put the Dodgers up 2-1, and they held onto that lead in the ninth. Here’s a video that shows the bat toss:
Max Muncy is the most SAVAGE bat flipper/thrower in the game #Dodgers

Muncy has two home runs and five RBI in the last two games, so he is obviously feeling it at the moment. His confidence is rubbing off on the Dodgers, who have won eight of their last nine games.
