White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson speaks on his infamous bat flip: 'I know that woke the black community up'

"I don't care about what anyone has to say, I go out and do me."

These were the words White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson in an interview with The Undefeated that was released on Monday.

Anderson has made quite a name for himself in 2019. The 26-year-old shortstop is in the midst of a career-best season. As of Monday evening, he has a slash line of .324/ .347/.492 with 12 home runs and 39 RBI.

Anderson has gone on at length explaining his reasoning behind his bat flips and vibrant displays of emotion that are not commonplace in MLB action.
