Imagine if Shaq is at the free throw line and you could just blow the whistle and put Kobe there.

1999 Mike Piazza has been retired 4 times, Rey Ordonez up at the plate with bases loaded and he tags in Piazza again

This is a stupid fukking idea, please don't let it come to fruition

Stugotz floated this idea YEARS ago on Le Batard's show and Rich Eisen tried to steal it from him.

I hope they do this Golden At-Bat for one year just for the fukkery. I want to see Yordan Alvarez hit a game tying three run HR, then pick up his bat after crossing home plate and hit a walk-off HR.

We could legit have ghost runners. Imagine Jose Ramirez leading off an inning with a double, then coming back to the plate to drive himself in.

the nfl does outlandish shyt like this all the time.

That golden at bat shyt sounds like promo for an MLB Arcade baseball game. That's how absurd it is. Baseball is all about some random guy getting big hits. That's what makes so many otherwise meaningless games memorable.

Nothing equals this golden bat idea, not even close

Actually I wanna see this just so I can watch Judge strike out twice in one inning during the playoffs

That golden bat is a dope idea

baseball need more excitement


I don’t want to see Joe random batting in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs down 1 with a runner on 2nd

i want that pitcher soul leave his body when he see Othani walk up to the plate

 

[VegetasHairline]

Why don't we just give the defense one automatic out per game while we're coming up with stupid ideas!

Bucky Dent and Aaron Boone were part of the biggest playoff moments in baseball history precisely BECAUSE they're random Joes.
