Alas. The moment we have all been waiting for.
Tonight, Vlad Jr will make his much anticipated debut, and we will all be here to banter about it. You know it’s a historic night if your Prime Minister is tweeting about it:
Tonight’s the night @vladdyjr27! Canadians across the country will be watching your first major league swings for the @BlueJays. Your dad inspired so many Canadians, and your passion, work ethic & love for the game make all of us proud. Good luck tonight! #LetsGoBlueJays https://t.co/3dTaoaH0gI
