JOSE BAUTISTA SIGNED LIMITED EDITION #186 of 500 "BAT FLIP" TORONTO BLUE JAYS 16x20 PHOTO WITH COA. This fully licensed limited edition 16x20 photo is a numbered photo featuring the iconic Jose Bautista “Joey Bats” bat flip image from Game 5 of the 2015 American League Division Series versus the rival Texas Rangers. This very rare piece has been hand-signed by Bautista and is a hand numbered limited edition. Jose signed it with his beautiful letter for letter signature and added his number 19 in thick blue paint pen. This Limited Edition #186/500 was signed by Bautista and sales supported his local foundation. This edition is long sold out and rarely comes up for sale on the resale market. A very rare and unique item to have signed as Jose has not signed this image other than for this signing. He is a notoriously very difficult in-person signature to acquire. The photo comes with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by B.B. Authenticated. AJ Sports guarantees the authenticity of this signature as well as any signature we offer for sale. The photo shown is the exact item you are bidding on.
Bautista said of the “Bat Flip” Homerun: “I can’t really remember what was going through my mind, to be quite honest with you. After I made contact … I just enjoyed the moment, rounded the bases, got to the dugout. And after all the guys stopped punching me and hitting me is when I kind of started realizing what had happened. I knew I did something great for the team at the moment of impact because I knew I hit that ball pretty good, and I gave us the lead in a crucial moment so I was happy to do that.”
