Travis d'Arnaud was quite excited about drawing a bases-loaded walk and has the bat flip to prove it

In the sixth inning against the Phillies on Tuesday evening, the Mets had the bases loaded. Travis d'Arnaud came to bat with two outs, his team trailing, 4-3. It held the opportunity for many exciting things: A grand slam, a bases-clearing double, a two-run single. But none could possibly excite d'Arnaud more than what actually happened.

Using the full extent of his patience, he drew an eight-pitch walk from Jeanmar Gomez to tie the game. And he, and his bat, were JAZZED. 

Sure, it probably got away from him a little bit, but that's a bat flip that can only come from earning a base on balls -- just ask Yasiel Puig . Only something as relatively subdued as a walk can lead to an explosion of kinetic energy like that. It takes the patient waiting of each pitch, the slow build up of potential energy and then -- WHAM! Converted into pure, beautiful motion.
