Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had himself an incredible All-Star Game debut Tuesday night in Denver – he hit a monstrous home run to left field in the third inning and then was named the MVP of the game at just 22 years of age.
Not bad!
Guerrero, who has 28 home runs at the break, had this to say after the game, via USA Today Sports’ Gabe Lacques:
“Dreams come true,” Guerrero said, the game’s MVP trophy riding shotgun on the postgame podium. “Since I was a kid I’ve always been thinking about this moment.
“I’ve worked all my life, very hard, and thank God it’s happening now.”
That all has to feel really awesome.
You know what else was awesome? The Spanish call of his home run, which happened while Dominican recording artist El Alfa El Jefe was in the booth and he stole the show:
