A profound life story of the man. Bautista is a very grounded person despite his success and fame. He has never forgotten his roots and he is very proud of his upbringing and culture in the Dominican. He exemplifies all that is good and expected of as a role model and an athlete. As a result, he is a well-respected leader in the clubhouse. Most of all he is grateful and humbled by the experience of learning the game from his mentors and living in Canada. A wonderful perspective from a great athlete.
