Vladimir Guerrero Jr. received the House Run Derby final night time. He beat Mookie Betts, Julio Rodriguez (who set the Derby report with 44 house runs in a single spherical) and Randy Arozarena by setting his personal report for the ultimate spherical with 25 lengthy balls.
After he received, celebration ensued. ESPN, which was showcasing the occasion, posted a graphic on display that stated Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the second-ever Cuban Derby champion. There’s just one downside: the Toronto Blue Jays star is not from Cuba.

The place is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. from?
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not from Cuba, as ESPN’s victory graphic recommended. He’s from the Dominican Republic, as evidenced by his participation on their nationwide group in the course of the World Baseball Traditional within the spring.
Paradoxically, this was a straightforward mistake to catch. Guerrero is just not the second Cuban Derby champ, however he’s the second House Run Derby winner from his family. His father, Vladimir Guerrero Sr., received it as properly.
That implies that the 2 stars can be the identical nationality and if Yoenis Cespedes is the one Cuban victor, then neither Guerrero Jr. or Sr. is from that nation.
Moreover, Vlad Jr. was born in Canada whereas his father, as soon as once more satirically, was taking part in for the Blue Jays. Both method, the household nor the slugger himself is from Cuba.
