Mini Bautista Swings Alongside Jose Bautista's Home Run, is the Real Hero

Mini Bautista perfectly timed his swing to coincide with Actual Bautista's home run.

So last night Jose Bautista hit a dramatic three-run home run in the seventh inning of Game 5 against the Texas Rangers. Then he let fly the single greatest bat flip you will ever see in your life. Everything about it was amazing and unforgettable. And somehow, it's all thanks to this little dude with a Jose Bautista beard colored in with a Sharpie.

Mini Bautista was sitting in the left field stands—not far above where Actual Bautista would deposit his home run—and timing his swing alongside Bautista's, almost willing it into existence. With one pantomime swing, Mini Bautista changed the fortunes of Toronto and became a legend himself.
