Vladimir Guerrero Jr. picks the perfect Blue Jays legend to emulate in October

A whole generation of Toronto Blue Jays fans grew up emulating Joe Carter's 1993 World Series heroics in backyards and neighborhood ball diamonds. Unfortunately, fans young and old who were lucky enough to watch the back-to-back championship teams of the early 90s on that moment of playoff glory for more than two decades. Then it was José Bautista and Edwin Encarnación who came along to give us more franchise-defining postseason moments. Now, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the Blue Jays' current franchise icon, wants to give a new generation of Canadian baseball fans a new playoff moment to hang their hats on this October. If there's anyone who can do it, it's Guerrero.

"He was like, 'Tomorrow you're gonna make one call to the bullpen,'" Cora said of Crochet's message to him. "I said, 'Maybe two.' "He's like, 'No, no - one. It's gonna be straight to [closer Aroldis Chapman].' Like, okay, I'll take that."
