Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Delivers an All-Time Sports Moment
Let’s set the scene here… Toronto Blue Jays and St. Louis Cardinals are playing an exhibition game in Montreal at the former home of the Expos. One of the most famous Expos players of all-time was Vladimir Guerrero. Vlady had an awesome career with the Expos and still beloved to this day. Because we’re all old, he has a son, Vladimir Jr., who plays for the Blue Jays and is a top prospect at age 19. In a 0-0 tie in the bottom of the ninth, Guerrero Jr. steps up to the plate and hits a home run that looks exactly like his dad. Sports are amazing, sometimes.
Vlad Jr. for the win.

Vlad Jr. hitting a bomb with the crowd losing their shit was such an awesome scene. Montreal is a baseball city. They just did not have the ownership to support a team, and there’s been much talk about bringing one back. With a struggling Canadiens team, this will be the hot sports topic of the day. It’s not even Day 1 of the Major League Baseball season, and we’ve already had a great moment. Maybe, we’re in store for more of those in the weeks to come. I love the Guerrero is basically his dad. He has a big league bat at age 19. Wonder when he’ll be up with Toronto because he’s going to be a dynamic player for that team at some point this season.
