Let’s take a break from marveling at college football’s wildest plays to appreciate how Jose Bautista managed a walk instead of concussion during Toronto’s game on Friday in the American League Championship Series against the Kansas City Royals. The guy did a fine job of dodging an inside fastball and living another day–as you can see recreated over and over again below.
Also, take some time to appreciate how Bautista uses that weird pigment ink to fill in his beard so that it looks painted on to his face. We’re not sure how that became a thing. From this angle, though, that ball still looks close enough to have taken that beard right off of him…
