Photo of the Day: Mini Bautista meets his favorite bearded, home-run blasting Blue Jays player

First, he was there when the Blue Jays won Game 5 of the ALDS, mimicking if not spurring the Jose Bautista home run that thundered across an entire nation. Then he was there when the Blue Jays were desperate for a win and got one, taking Game 3 from the Royals.

So, looking to even the series at two games apiece, Bautista and Toronto knew there was only one person they could turn to ahead of Tuesday's game.

They call him … Mini Bautista.

Yep, that's 9-year-old Oscar Wood capping a whirlwind week by meeting his painted-on beard inspiration and favorite player, Jose Bautista.
