He Grabbed The Wrong Bat

Either Mike Carp is really confident in the batter’s box, or he grabbed the wrong bat leaving the dugout. It looks like one of those mini bats you can buy in any team’s dugout store as a souvenir.

Upon closer examination, this appears to a broken bat. Who knows where the rest of the bat went. Probably just a few feet in front of him. And the baseball? It popped up and was caught by the shortstop. Not only did Carp break his bat, he popped out and had to hang his head low on his way back to the bench.
