I don't know, Cyn.  I just saw the clip tonight from last night's Tivo'd Baseball Tonight, and I am hardpressed to see how anyone could accidentally flip the bat like that.

I had the impression that it came up off the ground or something, but this thing was purposefully thrown in the direction of the ump.

A season ban is in order, although I suspect that Delmon is going to get off lightly.
