Before the 2010 season, Jose Bautista was known for being a part of the most hilarious Rule 5 draft in Major League history.
Not anymore. As of Aug. 24, Bautista is just 10 home runs away from the most unlikely 50-home run season since Brady Anderson.

A lot happened in the sporting world on Thursday night, but if no one minds, I’m going to take some time to reflect on something that’s a little closer to home here.
I’ll start with just this: 20-0.
No, it’s not a football score. It’s a baseball score. A baseball score that has done something that I thought no baseball score could have done to me.
