New York Yankees, established in 1903, hold the distinguished title of being the most accomplished and successful team in the annals of American Major League sports and, to a great extent, the global arena. With staggering 27 World Championship titles, their dominance is undeniable, and it is no surprise that they boast a vast and passionate fanbase who fiercely defend their beloved team. However, the Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. found the wrong side of this fierce fan base after making a bold claim but forgetting to fact-check.

Unfortunately, with an excessively overconfident tone, the Canadian-born baseman, who’s astounded the world with his abilities, made a comment without running it through the numbers. As a result, no one could save him. And he’s now a victim of the ferocious New Yorker’s attack.
