"Magical Bat" stands on end after making contact with ball
Check out this You Tube video from a Mets/Braves game last week. The "magical bat" stands up vertically next to the third-base line after the batter hits the ball in play with it.

Re: "Magical Bat" stands on end after making contact with ball
Pretty cool. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode where a flipped quarter ends standing up.

Re: "Magical Bat" stands on end after making contact with ball
That second clip captures it better. It took a little hop before coming to a stand still.

Re: "Magical Bat" stands on end after making contact with ball
I'm going to sound silly now, but if you stop the video and look at the area around the bat, is there a faint triangular smudge like it's been brushed?
