Vladimir Guerrero posts heartwarming shoutout ahead of son's MLB debut

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is set to make his long-awaited debut for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday against the Oakland A’s and his father couldn’t be more proud.

The elder Guerrero begun his Hall of Fame career with the Montreal Expos and posted a heartwarming photo of him and an adorable Vlad Jr. ahead of the weekend. He was named to the Hall in 2018.

Guerrero Jr. is widely considered to be the best prospect in baseball and he was unanimously believed to be ready for the majors at the start of the season, only to spend April in Triple-A to manipulate service time provisions.

Toronto could desperately use Guerrero’s offensive infusion, sitting at 11-14 through the opening month, trailing the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays by five games.
