MLB results have not been going the Toronto Blue Jays’ way. After a decent start of the season, the Jays have lost 4 of their 5 last games and slid to the bottom of the AL East. But during their most recent loss, their superstar player Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had fans gushing over his touching gesture. He gave a special fan a memory that they will never forget.

Guerrero Jr. is in great form this season after some difficulties and slumps last year. Experts have especially credited him for his discipline at the plate. But his most recent gesture toward a fan caused his supporters to express admiration and happiness. 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. gifts a bat to a fan who survived cancer

One small gesture can change a baseball fan’s life. Most recently, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. did just this by gifting a bat to a cancer-surviving fan. During the Blue Jays’ recent game against the Baltimore Orioles, he noticed a fan holding up a sign that mentioned he had beaten cancer. During the game, he asked a Blue Jays staff member to give the young fan his bat as a gift. The Blue Jays shared a video of the moment and a picture of the fans’ sign on Twitter.

In a Tweet, they said, “The young fan’s “I beat cancer” sign caught Vladdy’s eye. Vladdy made his day”. In the video, you can see Guerrero Jr. point to the fan while giving instructions. The young boy seemed ecstatic after receiving his gift, a true once-in-a-lifetime moment.
