Oh yeah! Giants rookie Matt Duffy uses 'Duffman' bats

San Francisco Giants rookie Matt Duffy probably doesn't have the sweetest swing in baseball, but the little-known 23-year-old infielder just may have the sport's sweetest bats.

The lumber Duffy has been swinging lately features a picture of the popular Simpsons character "Duffman" on the knob. Of course, "Duffman" is the smooth-talking, muscle-bound spokesman and mascot for the fictional Duff Beer company beloved by Homer.

One of Duffy's "Duffman" bats had an eventful afternoon in Phoenix on Wednesday during the Giants' 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

First Duffy lost his grip swinging during a ninth-inning at-bat and the bat flew into the stands, narrowly missing the fans seated in that section. That same at-bat, Duffy came through with the biggest hit of the game, snapping a tie with a two-run single that helped the Giants pull within two games of the first-place Dodgers in the National League West.

All that was missing was Duffy punctuating his game-winning hit with the Duffman's trademark pelvic thrust and "Oh Yeah!"

Wednesday was also rookie dress-up day for the Giants, so Duffy left the ballpark clad in a faux cowboy ensemble featuring boots, chaps, a vest and a pink hat. Not bad, but perhaps this would have been a more fitting costume.
