Blue Jays legend Jose Bautista will don the iconic blue jersey one more time when he signs a one-day contract to officially close out his baseball career in Toronto.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced Bautista's ceremonial signing on Friday morning, on the eve of his induction onto the team's Level of Excellence on Saturday.

The 42-year-old Dominican slugger spent nine seasons in Toronto, including memorable postseason runs in 2015 and 2016.

His 2016 ALDS celebratory ensuing bat flip is remembered as one of the greatest moments in Blue Jays history, following a no-doubter three-run bomb to blow open a bizarre and controversial 53-minute-long seventh inning in the series' Game 5.
