There are few things better than a World Series home run, and when given a chance to send a ball into the stands, Juan Soto didn't hesitate to celebrate with a smooth bat flip.

No one could talk to me again if I hit a home run during the World Series. So, I can't blame the New York Yankees right fielder for getting a colossal dinger to fly and executing a filthy bat flip afterward.

During the top of the third inning, on a two-two count, Soto pushed a fastball from Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto into the air to tie the game. It was a tremendous scoring opportunity to bring the Yankees back in it, and his stare down of his work before casually flipping his bat to the side was perfect.
