I think the Coyote let it loose. See how fast he found a Batman suit.

Did the "janitor" also get the shots since he was handed the bat?

Please let this be a serious warning to everyone! DO NOT HANDLE BATS! We happen to live in an area which is populated with millions of bats, and the possibility of coming in contact with them is highly possible. They serve a wonderful purpose in the ecosystem, but contact with humans is not one of them. Best wishes to Manu, I hope he recovers soon.

Personal I think it is FUNNY, San Antonio has alot of WIMPS the only Batman was Manu in the stadium, no wonder he makes millions. I thought it was funny the Coyote was dress bateman and with a net. San Antonio has a show for Tourist and careless if the tourist are attack by bats WHO CARES they bring in money. After Manu gave the bat to whatever or whoever person why would he let it go before testing. I tell you people are losing chips in their heads not very smart. Manu remmber be careful anyone or anything can go down in San Antonio. I still think it funny.

Did anyone check to see if the bat was for sale on Ebay?

Somewhere a family of mexican freetail bats are drinking and celebrating Jose, after he he came home and told his barrio how he went against the Spurs's best and went down in a blaze of fire. His status has been elevated within the roost from Jose the Blind Dingbat to Jose el Bandido Temerario Mas Chingon. Get well Jose.

He swatted a bat out of the air, picked it up and they couldn't find it for testing? I'm pretty sure you have to get bit to get rabies and the animal you come into contact with has to have the disease in the first place. I can see erroring on the side of caution, but why wouldn't that mean testing the bat? Someone said if he hadn't swatted it, it would have flown around causing chaos, but it survived and probably did continue flying around.

Go Spurs Go !!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE??????? If the bat hadn't been stopped it could have flown into the audience and then there would have been total panic! As for wishing something bad on Manu, if you don;t like the Spurs, DON'T WATCH THEM!!! Keep your stupid, ignorant remarks to yourself and don't verify that you are the total idiot you are coming off as on this post.
