Merry Christmas, Bauxites!  The POTD on this Christmas Day looks back on J.P. Arencibia's first major league at-bat against the Tampa Bay Rays at the Dome August 7th.

J.P. Arencibia appears to be looking for a sign from third base coach Brian Butterfield but Butterfield's attention is elsewhere.


Arencibia digs in at the plate.

JaysVision displays Arencibia's impressive 2010 campaign with the Triple-A Las Vegas 51's.

Arencibia makes his way towards second base after sending the first pitch he sees from James Shields over the left field wall for a home run.

Arencibia is greeted by Butterfield after rounding third base while Travis Snider and Edwin Encarnacion wait for him at home plate.

Arencibia crosses home plate and is welcomed by Snider and Encarnacion.

Arencibia is congratulated by Encarnacion after completing his trot around the bases.

JaysVision highlights Arencibia's accomplishment.

Arencibia maintained a 1.000 batting average in his first four at-bats with two homers, a double, and a single before fouling out to right field in his last at-bat.  Not a bad day's work as Arencibia and the Jays enjoyed a 17-11 victory over the Rays!
