THE BAT FLIP – Few moments in Blue Jays history can be described in just two words. But this one can. Bautista’s go-ahead, three-run home run in the 2015 American Divisional League Series powered the club to their first playoff series win in 22 years and the celebration it set off inside the sold-out Rogers Centre won’t soon be forgotten.

“It was such a big moment of such a crucial series and I was lucky enough to be in that position,” Bautista told CP24 this week. “Being able to connect on that home run, for the franchise it was huge and it created a lot of memories for the fans.”
