Last night, José Bautista became the first player in the major leagues to hit 40 home runs this season. Here's a card to commemorate your achievement, José!



Bautista joins some pretty select company in the Blue Jay 40 Homer Club, and he has a very realistic chance at breaking George Bell's club record of 47. Here are the other Jays who have accomplished this feat:

Player Year Home Runs
Jesse Barfield 1986 40
George Bell 1987 47
Jose Canseco 1998 46
Carlos Delgado 1999 44
Shawn Green 1999 42
Carlos Delgado 2000 41
Tony Batista 2000 41
Carlos Delgado 2003 42


So yeah, there's another game tonight to look forward to, but for now let's just kick back and revel in Bautista's greatness. Joseeee, Jose Jose Joseeee......
