If you are expecting me to write about anything other than Vladimir Guerrero Jr. joining the Blue Jays tomorrow, you can forget it. Im as excitable as a badger with its butt on fire.
Suffice to say there is a lot of hullabaloo about Vlad joining the Jays at last. Not just in Toronto but around the Majors as well- it seems only right that we look at some of those thoughts and feelings.
Firstly, his dad posted this sweet image:
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
It would be great if he had a career as good as his dad:

And Lansing Lugnuts said goodbye with a special article in their magazine by Jesse Goldberg-Strassler:
In case you hadn't heard, a certain Vladdy Jr.'s getting the call to Toronto on Friday... which means you've got time first to read the cover story of our 2019 magazine!

We know he has the talent but what will he produce? Projecting Vlad Jr.’s first 10 seasons
And no doubt Friday will be a special (and much hyped day) but what were the other most hyped Blue Jays debut in history?
