Now, Adames actually doubled up the amazing with this bat flip. Before heaving it so high above his head that it probably came close to clipping a catwalk, Willy carried it down the first-base line nearly halfway. That's a man appreciative of the tool of his trade, which came through when it meant the most.
I'm left with the desire to achieve this level of euphoria sometime. Maybe I'll win the lottery. Perhaps I'll find some long-lost memento in the couch cushions after years of mystery.
If anything like that happens, maybe I'll reach Adames' level of joy.
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
