Is this a fake? Listening to the commentators seems to indicate that it might be real.

I’m gonna guess… FAKE!
Yeah it has a very funny bounce… but it does look real.
Makes you wonder if it is a “funny” bat.
Makes you think something might be fishy with the bat. Like lead at the head, to make it stand up straight like that.
Fake for sure…
I suspect the bat may be using viagra.
Anyone that has dropped a nickel only to see it land on it’s side knows that this is possible. Baseball bats are not round on the end anymore, they are flat with a cup shape going into the bat, so this is not as unlikely an outcome as one might think, specially with sand providing some internal support.
Sammy Sossa’s bat does this every time.
Why would he run on 0-1?
I think it really happened, here is another link to expanded footage.
Surely there was more than one camera at the game watching him?
is real baby! is real!
It’s gotta be real. It’s on the intertubenet!
I’ll bet the umps checked that bat out.
was watching the game live. it was real.
I’m calling bull on this one.
While I guess it is possible, why were the announcers staring at the bat instead of watching the play down the 1st Base line? Also, the bat bounces straight up from the horizontal, there should have been enough kinetic energy to continue the bat moving through the point of least stability.
It did happen. Just watched the top of the 9th of that game on MLB.TV. It sure didn’t get much play. My guess it that is fell on over rather quickly. Still looked cool though.

Why doesn’t the umpire seem to notice the bat at all…
#16 It’s a replay they are commenting on, the bat was brought to their attention by the camera crew
#18 The umpire is looking down the 1st base line like he’s supposed to after a possible base hit, therefore not noticing.
If it is fake – nicely done, but I really think someone dvr’ed the game, thought it was neat and cammed the replay from their tv via minidv camera, and posted it.
You can see the cam HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXIGeGhEhAs
