Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his 100th home run at age 23 in the Toronto Blue Jays 5-1 victory over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays.
Guerrero Jr. got the Blue Jays off to a quick 1-0 lead by belting a solo home run off Drew Rasmussen in the first inning, his 28th of the season. At 23 years, 182 days, he is the youngest Blue Jays player to reach 100 homers, a mark that had been held by Carlos Delgado at 26 years, 84 days.
Guerrero Jr. said he planned to give the milestone home run ball to his father, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2018. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. belts his 100th homer in the Blue Jays’ 5-1 win over the Rays. He said he will give the milestone ball to his dad, Vladimir Guerrero Sr.“He’s going to feel very proud of me,” Guerrero said through a translator. “When your son does something like that, I’m sure any dad would feel proud.”
Guerrero reached the 100-homer mark two years younger than his father, but Guerrero Sr. did it in 438 games to Jr.’s 486. Guerrero Sr. hit 449 homers in his 16-year career with the Angels, Expos, Rangers and Orioles.
