Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Makes History at All-Star Game

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. of the Toronto Blue Jays stole the show at the MLB All-Star Game last night, winning the MVP award by going 1 for 3 with a HR and 2 RBI's, on top of wearing the coolest glove of the evening.

In his first at bat of the evening, Vladdy almost took off Max Scherzer's head with a line drive straight over the mound. Even though it resulted in a simple putout, fans were able to see the lighter side of baseball when Vladdy apologized to Scherzer on his way back to the mound.

In his second plate appearance of the evening, Guerrero Jr. blasted a monster, no-doubter solo shot which sent the crowd into rapture. Following in his father's footsteps, the Guerreros are the third father-son duo to hit home runs in the All-Star Game, along with Bobby and Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Sr. & Jr.
