Bat flip drama shakes NJ Little League

A Little League player from New Jersey just got ejected for celebrating a home run with a bat flip, and it’s got everyone talking. The moment was pure excitement—hitting it out of the park, then tossing the bat in the air. But the umpire called it unsportsmanlike and sent the kid off the field. Some folks say it’s just kids having fun and showing passion for the game, while others believe rules are rules. What do you think—should celebrations like this be allowed, or do they cross the line? #Sports #Baseball #LittleLeague

to eject a young guy like that is terrible. he's. just doing what he has seen major Leaguers do. it no big thing. the committee that ejected him should sit back and think about the pain they cost this young boy. I see where he was reinstated shouldn't have been ejected in the first place.

Major League players do things that are bad examples for kids. It was not unsportsman like but it is a definite safety issue. He is 12 years old and has no idea where that bat is going to go. There are numerous other players on the field, coaches, umpires, and younger bat boys that could have been hit by that bat. I agree with the ejection but change the punishment too, that game only not an additional game. Instead of the parents going to court maybe they should teach their kids to play in a more safe and respectful manner than a showboat manner.
