Jose Bautista has hit 75 home runs over the last two regular seasons, so it’s fair to say his upper-body strength is certainly not lacking.
So, it seemed a matter of certainty that the Blue Jays’ slugger would make quick work of the Phillie Phanatic in a fitness test.
Not so much.
Based on this outcome, the Phanatic is in the best shape of his life. Maybe he can bat cleanup for the Phillies.
