Ah September.

The rosters have expanded. Every game has playoff implications. And rookies get initiated into the big leagues.

For the Toronto Blue Jays, their rookie initiation is a bit different than the traditional "rookie dress up day" while traveling.

Apparently, veterans Mark Buehrle and LaTroy Hawkins have created Build-A-Bears for Kevin Pillar, Ryan Goins and Marcus Stroman to carry for the next two weeks:
