Vladimir Guerrero Celebrates Son Vlad Jr. in Photos After Blue Jays Star Wins ALCS MVP

After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earned ALCS MVP for leading the Toronto Blue Jays to their first World Series appearance, his father celebrated the accomplishment on social media.

Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero posted a series of pictures with his son on Instagram, along with the caption: "I've seen every sacrifice, every workout, every tear. Watching him become the ALCS MVP is the reward for all of it. You're great, son!" with a heart emoji.

Guerrero spent the first eight years of his legendary career playing in Canada, as a member of the Montreal Expos. Guerrero Jr. was born in Montreal in 1999 and famously joined his father on the field prior to an Expos game in 2002.

The Blue Jays won a thrilling Game 7 by a final score of 4-3 over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night, thanks to George Springer's three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh that proved to be the difference.

Guerrero finished the series hitting .385/.484/.846 with 10 hits and three homers in seven games. He has six homers in 11 games this postseason, breaking José Bautista's record for most homers in a single postseason.

This marks just the third time in franchise history that the Blue Jays have reached the World Series. Their first two appearances came in back-to-back years in 1992 and 1993, both wins.

Guerrero and the Blue Jays will host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday at 8 p.m. ET.
