On Saturday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a home run off the Yankees, and the Yankees fans were not amused.
Guerrero revealed that he quiets the crowd as he rounds third base following each of his home runs.
Guerrero continued to celebrate the same way even after his home run in the eighth inning pulled the Blue Jays within six runs.
Through an interpreter, Guerrero remarked after the Blue Jays’ 9-8 loss, “It’s something that I do everywhere regardless of the situation,” during Sunday’s third game of the clubs’ three-game series.
Guerrero took a while to reach third base before putting in the move.
The Blue Jays slugger, who hit a 362-foot home run off Luke Weaver to make the score 9-3, was met with a chorus of jeers from Yankee Stadium.
“He always seems to be around third base,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said to reporters on Saturday. “They don’t boo nobodies here in New York,” I’ve remarked previously.
Guerrero hit his second home run of the season, and he claimed he was beginning to feel more like himself despite his.182 batting average and the fact that both of his RBIs came from his home runs.
Guerrero told reporters, “Better-quality at-bats, definitely, especially the last three at-bats.”
On Saturday, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s home run cut the Blue Jays’ deficit to six runs.
