Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Reaches 500th Career RBI Milestone in Front of Home Fan
“It means a lot to get my 500th RBI in front of Blue Jays fans,” Guerrero Jr. said after the game. “Here in Toronto, I feel very happy.”
The 25-year-old first baseman, who debuted with the Blue Jays in 2019, has become a fan favorite for his power at the plate and his charismatic presence both on and off the field. His latest achievement adds another chapter to his already impressive career, following in the footsteps of his Hall of Fame father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr.
Guerrero Jr.’s RBI came in the bottom of the fifth inning with a sharp line drive to left field, bringing home Bo Bichette from second base. The moment sparked cheers across the stadium and was later commemorated on the scoreboard.
Manager John Schneider praised Guerrero’s consistency and growth: “He’s matured into a complete hitter. Getting to 500 RBIs this quickly is no small feat, and doing it here at home is special.”
With the Blue Jays pushing for a postseason spot, Guerrero’s performance continues to be critical. He joins an elite list of franchise players to reach the 500-RBI mark before turning 26, further establishing himself as the face of the team’s future.
As Guerrero tipped his helmet to the fans, the moment was a testament to his journey and the unwavering support from the Toronto faithful.
