Ohman hadn’t allowed a run in 25 appearances, but Jose Bautista jumped on a first-pitch fastball – as the Jays always do – and Alex Gonzalez launched a 3-1 pitch over the left field fence.

Bautista played for the Orioles, and three other teams, in 2004. Now he leads the AL in home runs. He officially qualifies as a late bloomer.
