Massachusetts-based personal trainer Johnny Burke, aka Bercules, has elevated the art of bat flipping to a place few — outside the community of bo staff martial artists — could have ever imagined.

One of the cons to bat flipping, to which Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig can attest, is that opposing pitchers don’t take kindly to the practice as a celebratory gesture. That didn’t stop Puig from inviting New Yorkers to try some flips of their own to mark personal victories. The results, as you will see, occasionally bordered on public nuisance.
