Bautista Reaches Pair Of Franchise Milestones 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Sep 21, 2014 2:00 pm

Jose Bautista notched a pair of career milestones during Saturday afternoon's win over the New York Yankees.

The Toronto Blue Jays slugger hit a home run and drew three walks.

He has 202 career home runs to pull into a tie with George Bell for fourth most in franchise history.

Bautista also now has 100 walks and 100 RBIs for the third time in his career (2010-11). Bautista joins Carlos Delgado (four times) and John Olerud (1993) as the only Blue Jays to have reached that milestone.

"I'll enjoy that more in the offseason, and personal accolades are great," Bautista said. "That puts you in an elite group amongst Major Leaguers. ... That's what the game is all about when it comes down to it, and I'm going to enjoy it in the offseason, but we're still worried about winning games right now."
