Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Montreal native, was around baseball since birth. His father, Vladimir Guerreo Sr., is a beloved former Expos Star player, inducted into the Hall of Fame. At just four years old, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joined his father at second base and tipped his cap to the Montreal fans as a way of saying “until we meet again,” which they did, 15 year later. In 2018, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Made his debut in a preseason MLB game for the Toronto Blue Jays wearing his father’s number 27, a symbolic passing of the torch where he hit a walk-off home run.  

Guerrero Jr. quickly rose as one of baseball’s top talents, continuously demonstrating his humility and ability to always have fun on the field, a gift given to him by his father. He led the Minor Leagues in multiple categories at age 19 and debuted with the Blue Jays in 2019. In the same year, he smashed a record of 91 homers at the MLB Home Run Derby. By 2021, Guerrero Jr. was an All-Star Game MVP and tied for the American Legue lead in home runs. In 2023, he returned to the MLB Home Run Derby where he claimed the title, making him and his father the only father-son duo to both win the event; cementing his place in baseball history and continuing to deliver unforgettable moments for Canadian sports fans.
