This is the moment that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was made for.
The son of a Hall of Famer. The future hope of the Toronto Blue Jays. The guy who got the $500 million contract to be the face of this franchise for the next decade and beyond.
And sure, it didn't hurt that the New York Yankees were on the other side. Why not make this moment as epic as possible?
Bases loaded, one blowout already in the ALDS books, a chance to break Game 2 wide open in front of the home Toronto fans.
Vladito, little Vladdy, delivered.
He hit one of the most no-doubt home runs you'll ever see.
He stood and watched it.
The stadium was already on its feet, but the fans all seemed to grow by another foot or two as the ball left the bat.
See ya.
Goodbye.
Grand freaking slam.
Holy cow.
Have a watch and enjoy for yourself:
This is one of the most spectacular grand slams you’ll ever see. The swing, the reaction, everything.

It's the first grand slam ever hit in the playoffs for the Blue Jays.
It's one of the most memorable swings in Toronto baseball history.
And it's got the Yankees firmly on the ropes.
Sometimes, a player lives up to their potential, even when it's a sky-high hype like Guerrero had.
And in this swing, he did just that.
