“Somebody should have told Vladdy”; “Jays just jinxed this” – Fans freak out as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrives for Game 7 in Auston Matthews jersey

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrived for Game 7 at Rogers Centre hoping to help the Toronto Blue Jays reach the World Series. However, his pre-game outfit didn’t impress fans.

The Blue Jays star donned Toronto Maple Leafs star Auston Matthews’ jersey before the game. This choice sparked reactions on social media, with fans reminding the Blue Jays infielder about the NHL team’s postseason record.

One user, Will Chiarucci, joked, “Someone should’ve told Vladdy about the Leafs in Game 7’s.”

Other fans echoed similar sentiments:

– Jeet Vala tweeted, “LMAO Jays just jinxed this. Putting on a loser uniform.”

– Garrett added, “Someone tell him a Leafs jersey is not what you want to be wearing for any Game 7 ever.”

– BGSU Agenda Pusher posted, “It’s all fun and games until the Boston Bruins take the field at the bottom of the 9th.”

– Nittanylion09 said, “Just when I thought we had a chance. Guys out here summoning the wrong energy. We want to win this game, not pull a Leafs.”

The Maple Leafs have not won the NHL’s ultimate prize, the Stanley Cup, in more than four decades. They have been eliminated from the playoffs by losing a decisive Game 7 in four of their last five seasons.

### Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Makes It to First World Series After Come-from-Behind Win Against Seattle

This season marks Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s first postseason appearance, and the Blue Jays star has been one of the driving forces behind their impressive run to the American League Championship Series (ALCS). He currently leads Major League Baseball in postseason home runs and hits.

Before ALCS Game 7, Guerrero expressed his determination:
“I was born ready. I was born ready and I want it all for this city.”

The city of Toronto is firmly behind Guerrero Jr., including Auston Matthews’ Maple Leafs teammate John Tavares. The Maple Leafs forward shared a rallying cry for the Blue Jays ahead of Game 7:
“Let’s goooooo! @BlueJays The city is electric, the country is behind you, now is your time! Good luck tonight and bring a World Series to TO!”

Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays made it through to their first World Series since 1993 after a thrilling 4-3 come-from-behind win against the Seattle Mariners on Monday.
