Vladimir Guerrero Jr. now stands alone

While there are your unsung, cult sidekicks like Ernie Clement and https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/l/lukesna01.shtml, there are also the main characters, turning their hero's sagas into legends.

For the Toronto Blue Jays, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. fits firmly in the second category.

Already slaying records on his way to becoming final boss, Vlad Jr.s' home run in Game 4 of the ALCS levelled up, transformed him into a new kind of post season legend.

He is now, the all-time home run king.

His game 4 blast was his 5th of the playoffs, breaking a tie with fellow franchise icon Jose Bautista for the most in a single postseason.

He is now atop the home run mountain.

While Vlad mashing home runs is something you'd expect, his ALDS tear came as a surprise to few, considered he hadn't homered since September 5th. Now, he can't stop crushing baseballs.

And there is still more baseball to play. The ALCS will go to at least six games.

If the Blue Jays end up defeating the Seattle Mariners to advance to their first World Series in 32 years, it is highly likely that Vlad wins ALCS MVP.

This is how legends are born.
