TORONTO — Hall of Fame outfielder Vladimir Guerrero walked in the corridor Friday night of the Rogers Centre with a few friends, greeted a familiar face, and simply uttered: “Game 7."
He spread his hands out, exhaled, and shook his head.
Guerrero played in only one World Series in his 16 year-career and never won a title, and his son Vladimir Jr. has a chance to go where he never went, playing in Game 7 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night after losing 3-1 in Game 6.
The Blue Jays are now going to have to do it the hard way, with Shohei Ohtani expected to start – or perhaps even pitch in late relief, meaning he could have to play in the the outfield to stay in the game after pitching.
“It’s a possibility," Roberts said, when asked if Ohtani would start. “We are not certain, but it's a possibility."
