Mini Bautista, you’re the real MVP.
A young Toronto Blue Jays fan with a Jose Bautista beard painted on was captured on video swinging an imaginary bat just as the real Jose Bautista launched a mammoth home run in the bottom of the seventh inning of Wednesday’s series-clinching American League Division Series Game 5.

What do you think? Leave a comment.
If that’s not the greatest thing you’ve ever seen, we don’t know what is.
Apparently #MiniBautista isn’t just a bandwagon Jays fan, either. He’s been dressing as Bautista since at least spring training and even met his idol while he was there.

This is arguably cooler than the actual comeback. Keep up the good work, #MiniBautista.
