After seeing Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista's bat flip on Wednesday, Chicago Cubs star Anthony Rizzo is apparently making sure he's ready for any big moment that comes his way.

While taking batting practice the day after the "Bat Flip Heard Around the Baseball World," Rizzo practiced his own technique. On a related note, the Cubs may need to look at extending the net down the lines at Wrigley Field.

Not to jinx the Cubs or anything, but should Rizzo find himself in the position to celebrate an important home run in the next two weeks or so, it would be hard to blame him for breaking out a Bautista-like bat flip. After all, the team is in a championship drought that has lasted more than a century.

The Cubs will face the winner of the New York Mets-Los Angeles Dodgers divisional matchup in the National League Championship Series.
