“My son is Canadian-born, and to see him here at this stage at 26 years old, I went to the World Series at 35. I’m happy that 15 years later my son got here much quicker.”
The Heartfelt Letter That Came True
Vlad Sr. wrote a deeply emotional letter to his son before Vlad Jr.’s MLB debut in 2019. That message resurfaced on social media after the Blue Jays clinched. The moment felt prophetic.
Young Vlad Jr. made an 11-year-old promise to his father. “Since I was little, I’ve always said that if I win a World Series, I’m going to give the ring to my dad,” he told Fox Sports. The words hit different now. Vlad Jr. is 26 years old and within reach of fulfilling that childhood vow.
Vlad Sr. quickly rejected the idea of accepting any ring. Instead, he shared his real wish. “If he wins the World Series, he’s the one who would win it,” Sr. said. His dream is to bring a championship ring to Don Gregorio, his small Dominican hometown. No player from there has ever won a World Series.
Historic Performance Powers Blue Jays Forward
Vlad Jr.’s playoff performance has been historic. He’s batting .442 through the postseason with 12 RBIs and 6 home runs. He won ALCS MVP honors after his dominant run.
