Guerrero Jr. Shows Support for Canadian Hero Before World Series Game

Leading up to the crucial Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays’ standout player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. paid tribute to a Canadian sports legend. He was spotted entering the Rogers Center, donning the jersey of Marie-Philippe Poulin, a celebrated figure in women’s hockey.

Walking onto the field, Guerrero visibly felt the weight of the moment—this wasn’t just any game; it was potentially the biggest match of his career. The pressure must have been intense.

Poulin, who has an impressive four Olympic gold medals, was instrumental in Canada’s victories in 2010, 2014, and 2022, along with helping the team secure a silver medal in 2018. She has also bagged four gold medals in the World Championships and currently plays for the Montreal Victoires in the Women’s Professional Hockey League.

In response to Guerrero’s homage, she posted on her Instagram Story, expressing her excitement with a heartfelt “Wow,” accompanied by tearful emojis and a cheer for her fellow Canadian team: “Let’s go Blue Jays!”

As for the game, it promises to be a showdown. Scheduled to kick off at 8 PM ET on FOX, the stakes couldn’t be higher. For the Blue Jays, Max Scherzer will be on the mound, while the Dodgers will send out Shohei Ohtani.

Looking at Guerrero’s performance this postseason, he’s been on fire, boasting a .412 batting average, eight home runs, and 15 RBIs, leading all postseason contenders in RBIs. He’s also tied with Ohtani for home runs, which adds another layer of excitement to the match.

Toronto’s quest for a World Series title has been a long one, with their last win back in 1993. Meanwhile, the Dodgers aim to defend their championship title. It’s bound to be a night filled with passion, determination, and perhaps a little bit of nervous energy.
