Toronto, ON – A moment of history was made at Rogers Centre as Vladimir Guerrero Jr. delivered his 500th career RBI in front of a roaring home crowd. The milestone came during a key moment in Sunday’s matchup, and the Toronto Blue Jays star didn’t hide what it meant to him.
“It means a lot to get my 500th RBI in front of Blue Jays fans,” Guerrero Jr. said after the game. “Here in Toronto, I feel very happy.”
The 25-year-old first baseman, known for his powerful bat and charismatic presence, has become a cornerstone of the franchise. Since debuting in 2019, Guerrero has steadily climbed the ranks of MLB’s elite sluggers. His 500th RBI is yet another testament to his consistency and impact on the game.
Fans gave him a standing ovation as the announcement was made over the loudspeakers, and Guerrero tipped his helmet to acknowledge the crowd’s support. The historic RBI came on a sharp single to left field, scoring Bo Bichette and giving the Blue Jays a crucial lead in the game.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider praised Guerrero’s achievement, calling it a “milestone worthy of a generational talent.”
“He’s only just getting started,” Schneider added. “What he’s done already is amazing, but what’s ahead of him is even more exciting.”
As the Blue Jays push forward in a tight playoff race, Guerrero’s leadership and production will be essential. Reaching 500 RBIs at such a young age places him among the elite company in franchise history, and fans are hopeful this is just the beginning of even greater feats to come.
For now, Toronto celebrates a special moment with one of its brightest stars.
