MLB playoffs 2015: Someone already got a tattoo of Jose Bautista's epic bat flip image

Jose Bautista's seventh-inning home run in Game 5 of the ALDS against the Rangers will go down as one of the greatest moments in Blue Jays history. It will also go down as the greatest bat flip in baseball history.

With modern technology at the tips of our fingers, we can all relive this moment for as long as we want from wherever, whenever.

But one fan, perhaps fearful of technology, or just perhaps a devout Blue Jays fan, wants to keep the moment close to his/her heart. Maybe a bit too close. Bautista posted an image to Instagram on Thursday that appears to show a rendering of his post-home run stance tattooed on a person's body.

 

The image was initially posted by Scoot Mason, a tattoo artist in Toronto. Whoever ordered the tattoo did not wait long.
