Buster Posey’s bat had to be rescued from the protective netting

What takes three men and a ladder to rescue from the protective netting at AT&T Park? 

Buster Posey’s bat. That’s what.

The San Francisco Giants superstar had a rare moment of weakness on Saturday, losing his grip on his bat on a first-inning swing against Scott Kazmir. As a result, Posey’s bat went soaring through the air, only to be captured and held about 20 feet up the netting right near the Giants home dugout.  

As you can plainly see, it got wedged in there pretty good. The game certainly couldn’t continue with a bat just hanging around. That meant the AT&T Park maintenance crew had to spring into action to save the day and save Posey’s bat.

Upon the rescue of Posey’s bat, there was only one question that had to be answered 

Does Buster Posey’s bat have a Twitter account yet? #SFGiants https://t.co/yHjRtyvVCT

Good while it lasted. Thanks for the ride, @BusterPosey! #sfgiants #beatla pic.twitter.com/XSzFLxKc6H
