Saturday night, the World Series pregame took a twist when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrived at the Rogers Centre wearing an outfit that completely stole the show.
I know, I know - the Jays' loss hurt many...
But let's talk about something a bit more positive here!
On social media, a photo of Vlad Guerrero set the comments section on fire.
And with good reason - the Jays slugger showed up wearing a jersey from Canada's women's hockey team, with Marie-Philip Poulin's name on the back.
Such a perfect nod to the legend known as Captain Clutch, famous for her game-winning goals and inspiring leadership.
Fans went wild as soon as the first images dropped.
And I really loved this shout-out to hockey fans.

It's not the first time Vladdy Jr. has surprised everyone with his pregame style.
During Game 7 of the series against Seattle, he wore an Auston Matthews jersey (I know, probably not a popular choice around here), and the Blue Jays won.
However, on the field, things turned tragic for Toronto.
The Blue Jays gave it everything they had but fell 5-4 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 11th inning.

Despite the loss, Guerrero Jr.'s outfit went viral - a symbol of genuine respect for a Canadian icon and a passion that transcends sports.
"Vladimir Guerrero Jr's message to the fans, through his translater:
"I got to be very thankful, very grateful for our fans, for the city... I'm sorry, because we couldn't give that title that we know the entire city wants."

It's also great to see a female athlete getting recognition from a star like Vladdy!
I think gestures like this show just how much he understands the spirit of the game and national pride.
