Sicoderus Bautistai
Entomologist
Bob Anderson of the
Canadian Museum of Nature has
discovered a new species of weevil and has named it after Phillies outfielder
José Bautista.
Anderson is a Blue Jays fan who has named over a hundred different species of weevil in his career. He was inspired by
Bautista's 2015 ALDS home run off of Rangers pitcher Sam Dyson that sent the Blue Jays to their first ALCS since 1993 (when they went on to beat the
Phillies in the World Series).
