Mark DeRosa SHOCKED New York Yankees fall to Toronto Blue Jays 8-0, With 40th HR-Vlad joins rare father-son club
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. seems to make headlines with every swing of the bat in his breakout 2021 season, and that was certainly true on Monday, when the Blue Jays’ 22-year-old star launched his 40th home run of the season in Toronto’s 8-0 win at Yankee Stadium.
Not only did Guerrero become the youngest Blue Jays hitter to reach 40 homers and one of just 10 in franchise history, but he and his father are now one of just two father-son duos to hit 40 home runs, joining Prince Fielder and Cecil Fielder.
Vlad Sr. hit 42 home runs when he was 24 with the Montreal Expos and reached the 40-homer plateau once more the next season, totaling 449 in his Hall of Fame career. Vlad Jr. has a long way to go to reach that mark, but he is now third in the Majors in home runs this season behind Salvador Perez (41) and Shohei Ohtani (43).
