Professional basketball player, Manu Ginobili, punched a live bat as it flew past him during a game tonight between the San Antonio Spurs and the Sacramento Kings. As luck would have it, the flying mammal died of its injuries.
Previously, the game had been delayed as the little critter flew around and frightened some of the other players.
How exactly did a bat get into a modern NBA arena???
If you watch the clip in the article I linked, you will see why I put this under "just plain impressive." I mean, Mr. Ginobili's hand-eye coordination was absolutely superb.
As luck would have it, the spurs mascot, a coyote, was sporting a "Batman" costume in honor of Halloween.
And, of all nights for a bat attack - it's Halloween - the main night of creepy-crawly things.
