On Saturday night, after Joe Carter threw out the first pitch at game two of the 2025 World Series, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. placed the sparkling Blue Jays home run jacket on his shoulders. The 1993 World Series hero’s smile melted the hearts of everyone old enough to remember how his three-run home-run triumph lit up this city.

The jacket bears a glittering new World Series patch, an upgrade to the post-season one that commemorated the Jays’ victories over the Yankees and the Mariners. Most notably thus far, Addison Barger donned it and ran through a gauntlet of his jubilant teammates after his historic pinch-hit grand slam in game one.
