He’s gonna take his bat to the old SkyDome, he’s gonna mash ’til he can’t no more. Vlad Jr. became a fan favourite before he even made it to the plate:
debut at Rogers Centre against the Oakland Athletics on Friday night and the top prospect in baseball decided to use the top song on the pop charts as his first walk-up tune.
The 20-year-old son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero walked up to the plate during the second inning for his first at-bat as “Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus played in the background. “Old Town Road” has been in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for a few weeks and, not that Guerrero needed to pander to home crowd, it certainly endeared him to the younger members of the fan base as you can see below.— Vlad Jr HOF tracker — OBJeff — thomas williams
