He needed only one pitch to retire the next batter, Yunel Escobar. But he was about to face a much tougher hitter, one who was the main reason why most of the sparse crowd had traveled to Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, that Sunday afternoon. It was September 23, 2010, and the Blue Jays were hosting the finale of a three-game set against the Seattle Mariners. The home team had lost the night before, dropping their record to just a game above .500, and with only a handful of games left, their hopes of a playoff berth had long since faded. That had unfortunately become the team’s modus operandi. It had now been 17 years and counting since they had last played meaningful games in October. José Bautista stepped into the right-handed batter’s box and dug in. About six feet tall and just under 200 pounds, he was far from the biggest player on the field. But his numbers did all the talking; five nights earlier, he set a new franchise record by slugging his 48th home run of the season. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
