Forget football. Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen might have a future in baseball. Allen, who is in Toronto to watch the Blue Jays take on the New York Yankees on Monday, was allowed to take the field at the Rogers Centre during batting practice.
The Bills star did not disappoint, smashing several home runs that left onlookers stunned. Check out Allen in the box, courtesy of the Blue Jays' Twitter account.
ROSTER MOVE: QB Josh Allen has been recalled from Buffalo.

Well done by the Blue Jays‘ Twitter account, which posted footage of Allen swinging for the fences with the accompanying words that the Bills star had been “recalled from Buffalo in a roster move.”
While it's just batting practice and not a live baseball game, it's hard to ignore both Allen's sweet swing and the sound of the ball off of his bat.
This isn't the first time Allen has wowed on the diamond, either.
The Bills signal-caller belted several tape-measure home runs at a charity softball game earlier this month.
Buffalo's front office and coaching staff can't be too thrilled with this development, especially considering the fact that they have not-so-gently nudged Allen to slide in 2023, so as to avoid taking big hits.
However, Allen is, for all intents and purposes, just out there having fun and is not going to be taking up baseball as a hobby- we think.
And, to cap off his trip to the Blue Jays' home ballpark, Allen got to meet Toronto slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr and others, who posed for a photo with the Bills star.
Now, Allen can sit back and watch the game, unless the Blue Jays need a pinch hitter against the Yanks.
