In 1987 St Louis Cardinals infielder Tom Lawless had hit 1 HR in his entire career. His batting average was 0.80. 2 hits. All season. Here he is hitting a HR in Game 4 of the ’87 World Series, etching his name in baseball history for the greatest, most disrespectful bat-flip of all time.

Amazing. You can tell the energy there was unreal!
what are you doing posting this stank outside of r/baseball
it just gets better every time I see it again
That’s awesome
0.800 would be an incredibly high batting average, meaning he got a hit eight times for each 10 at-bats. His actual batting average was 0.080.
Disrespectful? How. He should have broke it in half first over a knee. That was awesome.
If he hit .80 he would be a first ballot HoF’er, hold the records for most walks and most hit by pitches, and would have been on the news every night of his career making the accomplishments of Gretzky, Jordan and Brady look like pee-wee stats.
He gets on base. Wait was that Wade Boggs? RIP.
We’ve got them all now right?
And they lost in 7. Go Twins! RIP Kirby 16 years ago today.
Surprised Molina isn’t on this team.
Can someone fill me in on why this was disrespectful? He just seems like a guy that was celebrating rocking a ball when he had a pretty poor career up to that point.
I can’t wait for the first HR of the 2022 season … oh wait … there is no 2022 season.
Downvote shit with captions this erroneous!
Must have been one hell of an infielder.
Can an American sports clip really important if Al Michaels isn’t commentating? Absolute legend.
What’s up with that “grass” on the field? Doesn’t even look like astroturf, just looks like a weird green commercial-grade carpet.
What is going on with the title? Wikipedia says his career average was .207, a far cry from .800
Is OP saying his average in the game was .800? Or was his average up until that point in his career .800? How do you get an .800 average with only 2 hits?
Huh?
