TAMPA, Fla. — Hall of Famer Goose Gossage has criticized Toronto star Jose Bautista and New York Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes for the way the pair celebrated home runs during the playoffs last year.

Gossage called Bautista a “disgrace to the game” during a profanity-laced interview in Tampa on Thursday.

“He’s embarrassing to all the Latin players, whoever played before him,” Gossage told ESPN. “Throwing his bat and acting like a fool, like all those guys in Toronto. Cespedes, same thing.”

Bautista memorably flipped his bat after hitting a three-run homer that gave the Blue Jays the lead in the seventh inning in Game 5 of the AL Division Series against Texas.

“He’s entitled to his opinion,” Bautista said. “I don’t agree with him whatsoever. I’ve never talked to him. I don’t know him. Whatever reason or agenda he’s on is fine with me. I’m not going to start picking a fight.”
