<div><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size:24px;">Baseball Reaches a Flipping Point</span></span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">Brace yourself, baseball fans, and behold the inexorable rise of the bat flip.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">Self-expression has long been a fraught issue in Major League Baseball, where impassivity — the ability to “act like you have been there before†— often feels as highly regarded as power hitting and foot speed.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">Yet times change, and signs today indicate that the league stands poised to enter a golden age of celebratory antics. If so, bat flip buffs might one day look back upon the leagueâ€
s playoff games this week as a symbolic starting point. [...]</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays performed what might have been <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>the most ostentatious bat flip in M.L.B. history</strong></span>. The moment came after Bautista smashed a late tiebreaking home run at the Rogers Centre. Bautista watched the ballâ€s flight, glared into the near distance <strong>like a professional wrestler, and then, in a burst of pugnacious swagger, hurled his bat sidearm deep into foul territory.</strong> [...]</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">For bat flip aficionados, the speed, trajectory and distance of a toss are crucial details. Midair rotations add to the visual splendor. Dramatic posturing and histrionic facial expressions elevate things to the next level. Bautistaâ€s had it all.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span style="font-size:14px;">Until now, the subject of bat flips has generally left little room for a middle ground. People love them or hate them — <strong>there is an unmistakable generational divide</strong> — and they feel compelled to air their stance either way. [...]</span></div>

There are so many scams running due to litigation in the States, particularly in the motor insurance space. -
