CLEVELAND, Ohio -- During his favorite moment as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, Edwin Encarnacion hogged the spotlight.
He whipped his bat at the 91-mph fastball and immediately raised both of his arms in the air as the baseball sailed into the Rogers Centre seats. He lifted his right arm, like he always does, while rounding the bases, as a horn blared inside the raucous venue. He reached home plate, where he was the epicenter of a blue mob, his teammates playfully pounding on him for vaulting them into the American League Division Series.
Encarnacion doesn't always want the attention; he's actually pretty timid.
