Guerrero’s MLB debut long has been anticipated by many. The 20-year-old has a .341 batting average in two-plus seasons in Triple-A with nine home runs and 23 RBIs.
Of course, no one is happier for the youngster than his dad, Baseball Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, who expressed his excitement with this heartwarming tweet.
My son! The country that saw you as a child will now see you turn into a big one.
Working hard everything can be done. I’m proud of you!
Love you! ❤️ pic.twitter.com/WJyLBVKWoR
