""When Kay and I were watching the World Series, we noticed that there was [No.] 51 on Louis Varland's hat," Vesia said. "I immediately texted Gus Varland, his brother, and I asked him if I was seeing that correctly. He texted me back right away and he said, 'The Varlands love you, dude. The whole Toronto bullpen has it, too. It's bigger than baseball. We love you all.'""
""There was a notable absence in the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen during the World Series. Alex Vesia, who had been arguably one of the Dodger's most reliable relievers through the first three rounds of the playoffs left the team due to a family emergency, and didn't return as Vesia and his wife Kay lost their newborn daughter Sterling Sol.

Alex Vesia left the Dodgers during the World Series because of a family emergency after he and his wife, Kayla, lost their newborn daughter, Sterling Sol. Vesia missed the series and later spoke at Dodgers camp about the loss and the family's experience. Dodgers relievers honored Vesia by wearing hats stitched with his No. 51. The Toronto Blue Jays also wore 51 on their bullpen hats and reached out to express support. Vesia described the gesture as emotionally powerful, calling the Blue Jays a first-class organization and saying the response showed the moment was much bigger than baseball.
