Royals' Brad Keller to White Sox fans: 'Give up' posting Tim Anderson bat flip

Tim Anderson's bat flip against the Kansas City Royals was undoubtedly one of the biggest moments of the White Sox season.

The guy who gave up the homer doesn't seem to agree.

As we found out in the aftermath, there was a lot more behind the bat flip than just celebrating a fourth-inning home run in April.

Royals pitcher Brad Keller plunked Anderson in retaliation, cranking up baseball's never-ending debate between old-school and new-school styles.

Anderson was ejected and suspended for what he called Keller after getting hit, turning the conversation to race and the dwindling number of black major leaguers.
