"Since Vladdy signed with the Blue Jays in 2016, a run like this for him was always promised to fans and finally, after a decade, he has officially arrived. Despite George Springer stealing a bit of Vladdy's heroic thunder in Game 6, courtesy of a three run blast to take the lead in the seventh that may have overtaken Bautista's legendary bat flip moment from 2016, Vladdy was far and away the best performer in this series."
"In the postseason overall? The 26-year-old hasn't stopped showing up when the lights are the brightest, silencing the crowd who advocates that he's 'not clutch'. At the end of the day, Springer could've launched three home runs on Monday night, but Guerrero is still the franchise man, he was "born ready" after all."
"The 500 million dollar man ( who looks like he's worth every penny, then some) hit six home runs during their magical run to the first World Series the city of Toronto has seen in over three decades. Along the way, Vladdy broke Jose Bautista and Joe Carter's franchise record for most postseason home runs by a Blue Jay."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. carried the Toronto Blue Jays to their first World Series appearance since 1993 and earned ALCS MVP honors. He hit six postseason home runs and broke the franchise postseason home run record previously held by Jose Bautista and Joe Carter. Guerrero produced a .442 batting average, a 1.440 OPS, and a 280 wRC+, signaling dominant offensive performance. He answered critics who questioned his clutch ability by delivering in high-leverage moments. George Springer supplied a pivotal Game 6 homer, but Guerrero remained the series' premier contributor and franchise cornerstone. The Blue Jays enter the World Series with momentum.
