Suspended Bautista wants to take in Raptors game
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista has the night off Friday thanks to a one-game Major League Baseball suspension stemming from his involvement in the May 15 brawl with the Texas Rangers.
Given the circumstances, he's thinking of heading down the street to catch the Toronto Raptors try and stay alive against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 6 of the NBA's Eastern Conference finals.

He began canvassing for tickets, even though the Blue Jays' owner, Rogers Communications, also owns a chunk of the Raptors.
Hey @PKSubban1 got an extra ticket to the @Raptors game?

Noted Raptors fan and Montreal Canadiens defenseman P.K. Subban seems to have worked out a deal with the slugger.
I'll trade you my ticket for a bat flip tomorrow. Deal ?!?! ☝ https://t.co/M5vyA9QnVK
