"Flip it. Frame it. Put it in the Louvre right next to the Mona Lisa and José Bautista's 2015 bat flip - those are in the same room in Paris right? Vladimir Guerrero Jr. cemented his franchise icon status with his fourth inning grand slam in the Toronto Blue Jays 13-7 win in Game 2 against the New York Yankees on Sunday, one of five home runs the Blue Jays hit in the game."
"While he may not have his "Joe Carter" moment - yet - he's certainly got his "Bautista bat flip" moment under his belt and 44,000+ at Rogers Centre where there to witness it at Rogers Centre. As the collective screamed at the top of their lungs watching that ball sail into the second deck, there were a couple of spectators who were completely and utterly devastated about the outcome."
"Play-by-play announcer Dave Sims and colour analyst Suzyn Waldman were utterly stunned by the outcome. On one hand, if you're a Blue Jays fan, it just feels good to have a moment that puts the other team down in the dumps in such a huge game. On the other, as a fan of epic calls and moments, as a fan of baseball, this was a missed opportunity by Sims and Waldman."
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a fourth-inning grand slam that cemented his franchise-icon status and was one of five home runs in the Toronto Blue Jays' 13-7 Game 2 win over the New York Yankees. More than 44,000 fans at Rogers Centre erupted as the ball sailed into the second deck, producing a Bautista-style moment that has yet to reach Joe Carter level. Yankees play-by-play announcer Dave Sims and colour analyst Suzyn Waldman were stunned and fell silent for almost 30 seconds after the homer. Starter Max Fried had been removed after being outpitched by 22-year-old rookie Trey Yesavage, and reliever Will Warren surrendered the slam.
