Baseball Babe #98 Jose Bautista Toronto Blue Jays Outfielder/First baseman homered Opening Day

Let the Fantasy Baseball God's be aware of the possible eligibilty of Jose Bautista as a 1st baseman!

The slugger started off the season against the Cleveland Indians on Opening Day the way he did all last year and that's hitting the baseball and hitting it hard. The day ended with him going 3-for-4 with a home run, 1 run, two rbi's and two bb's one intentional. The switch to 1st base happened in the ninth inning on a switch that also put 45 year old and ageless INF Omar Vizquel in shallow left field for defensive purposes to help produce a double play that eventually got them out of the inning. He went back to left in the 13th when Vizquel took over at first.

But, his home run batting prowless is what the Toronto Blue Jay's fans love about Bautista.

Baseball Babe #97 Honors J.P. Arencibia Toronto Blue Jays 16th inning 3 Run HR shot for win

The record longest game in MLB Opening Day history happened on 4/5/2012 when the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Cleveland Indians 7-4 in 16 innings. Mark it!

The hero was J.P. Arencibia who with two men on tried an ugly sacrifice bunt went awful decided to swing on the next pitch. The ball was struck and it was bomb over the left field fence that in the top half of the inning took the life out of the Indians.

Arencibia's first home run of the season could not have been more dramatic. They say a win is a winn but opening day 16th inning home run will go down in the history books.

Baseball Babe #45 Honors Jose Bautista Toronto Blue Jays 13th HR

The league leader in home runs found a perfect time to hits hie 13th of the year. In the eleventh inning of a 3-3 ballgame with the Minnesota Twins, Jose Bautista of the Toronta Blue Jays found the other side of the home run wall a place to play hide and go seek with the baseball. The 2 run homer helped a rally that eventually helped the Blue Jays defeat the Twins 9-3. I guess the league leader in walks should have taken another intentional?
