Former Toronto Blue Jays star slugger Jose Bautista is among the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame’s class of 2025.
Bautista was a six-time MLB all-star who led the Blue Jays to two post-season appearances.
He is best known for his memorable “bat flip” home run against the Texas Rangers in the 2015 American League Division Series.
