If Thursday was the last time Jose Bautista suited up for the Toronto Blue Jays, he certainly went out with a bang.
Leading off the ninth inning of Game 5 in the ALCS against Cleveland Indians closer Cody Allen, Bautista stepped to the plate amidst a roaring ovation from a sold-out Rogers Centre. Following a short interruption with a fan on the field, the slugger ripped a double to left.
It was Bautista's second hit of the contest, but just his sixth of the postseason.
If Bautista leaves Toronto via free agency this offseason, he'll exit with 265 home runs, 701 RBIs and a .910 OPS as a member of the Blue Jays.
