DUNEDIN, Fla. — Football season is over, but the effects are still lingering for Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Chris Bassitt. Sportsnet reports that after going 4-10 in the team's fantasy league, Bassitt's punishment was to serve as Toronto's bat boy Saturday while wearing "4-10" on the back of his jersey. The Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 6-4. Saturday also happened to be Bassitt's 36th birthday. Bassitt is entering his third season with the Blue Jays. He went 10-14 with a 4.16 ERA last year — not great, but better than he did in fantasy football.
