Vladimir Guerrero Jr. continues to make history this season and the Blue Jays star hit 40 home runs in Monday’s game against the Yankees.

Not only did Guerrero become the Blue Jays’ youngest hitter to exceed 40 and one of only 10 in franchise history to hit that number, but he joined forces with his father, Vladimir Guerrero, to be the second father-son pair to hit 40 homes. runs, and joins Prince and Cecil Felder.

Vlady Jr reached 40 Homers, after being hit in the first half by Jameson Taillon. Vladimir Sr. hit 42 at the age of 24 at the Montreal Expos in 1999, crossed 40 again the following season and finished his career in the Hall of Fame with 449 homes.

“I have front row seats to watch this whole season,” Toronto coach Charlie Montoyo, a Guerrero Sr. teammate in 1996 with Double-A Harris-burg, said. What he did is not easy. This kid is going to be one of the best baseball players. In fact, it really is and it was fun to see someone so young be so good at the plate.”
