If one day Efren Navarro¡¯s bat from the bronze medal game of the 2019 Premier12 ends up in a hall of fame somewhere, it won¡¯t get there in one piece.

Not that it¡¯ll matter in the least to Mexican baseball fans. Navarro and his shattered bat are going down in history regardless.

Navarro sent Mexico¡¯s baseball team to the Olympics for the first time ever with a 10th-inning broken-bat single into center that gave the Mexicans a 3-2 win over the United States in the third-place contest at the Premier12 on Sunday afternoon at Tokyo Dome.
