Sometimes, these grandiose bat flips in the Korean Baseball Organization end up as #epicfails because the batters are fooled and balls aren't hit over the fence. Not so in the case of Lotte's Jung Hoon, who hit a home run nearly over the grandstand in left field to break a 1-1 tie in the eighth inning Wednesday.

If you go that deep, why just lay down your bat, when you can do tricks with it? And listen — how can you not? — to the call:

He really got all of that one. Fans over there respond to these guys like they're rock stars, so it's appropriate to milk it. Watch it on a loop for full effect:

There's a lot going on during the video clip other than the flip, although the flip part starts out dramatically enough:

Bat flip
'I have the POW-ERRRRRR!' (MyKBO)

Bat flip catcher
The catcher is depressed. (MyKBO)

Don't Copy Me
OK, we WON'T! (MyKBO)

Crazy kids
Kooky kids in the bleachers with the home-run ball. (MyKBO)

Bat flips in North American ball also are fun, but if someone tried one of those Jung Hoon deals, they'd get a pitch up near the ear flap the next time up. Or there'd just be a brawl on the spot, before he finished his home-run trot. We (meaning players over here) ought to loosen up and act more, shall we say, Korean. Flip those bats. Flip 'em good. And let 'em. Showmanship counts for a lot in this life. Or should.
