VIDEO: Spurs' mascot becomes Caped Crusader, snags loose bat at AT&T Center

How many bats reside at the AT&T Center? Because this is getting ridiculous. One is too many.

It was back in 2009 when Manu Ginobili smacked a bat out of thin air with his bare hand, which forced him to receive a rabies vaccination.

Prior to Monday's game between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, another bat was making its way through the building, which forced the Coyote - San Antonio's mascot - to take action.

Suiting up as Batman, the Coyote grabbed a net and caught the flying creature - which survived the ordeal - in dramatic fashion:

Loose bat? No problem for @SpursCoyote!

He's the hero San Antonio deserves. He's a silent guardian. A watchful protector.

Manu's was better, though.
