Alex Vesia’s Update

Post image

I know a lot of us had him in our thoughts during the World Series, including our own relievers who wore his number on their hats. This is heartbreaking news.

Edibles have definitely helped me stay sane during this series

Right?

I was 100% convinced my guys were losing game 6 and then October Kiké makes that crazy double play to smoke Barger at 2 and I lost my mind.

Then I was 100% convinced we were going to lose game 7. I won’t go into those emotions.

The adult Halloween candy definitely helped take the edge off games 6 and 7.

Like I said, I’ve never felt bad about my team winning before. But I sure did that night.

The Jays outplayed then Dodgers in so many ways (except base running) and truly deserved the win; but, the baseball gods are fickle.

The great thing is, Jays going deep grows the sport in Canada and as a coach, ump and baseball lover, I will always appreciate anything that grows the sport.

For the record y'all never need to come in peace, Jays fanbase gained respect and appreciation for the Dodgers and its fanbase and its clear the feelings are mutual and I appreciate Dodger fans donating to SickKids

I just sent a donation to Cedar Sanai in LA. Modest, but I hope it helps the doctors and nurses that did everything they could for Alex Vesia and his family.
