Here's a sight that should make any Toronto Blue Jays fan feel at least somewhat emotional.
Former Blue Jays first baseman Edwin Encarnacion - now a member of the Cleveland Indians - is in Toronto for the first time since signing a three-year, $60-million deal to join the Tribe.
As most former players do, Encarnacion took time to catch up with his ex-teammates before Monday's matchup - none more special than his encounter with Jose Bautista.

The stars developed a friendship throughout their eight years together in Toronto, forming a prominent duo as two of the best players in Blue Jays history.
Less than a month after Encarnacion left for Cleveland, Toronto opted to bring Bautista back on a one-year, $18-million deal.
