Guerrero Jr., making his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic, arrived at Denver’s Coors Field with a custom-made baseball glove that featured a photograph of him with his Hall of Fame father in matching Montreal Expos gear from the early 2000s, ESPN reported.

“Stuntin like his Vladdy!” the Toronto Blue Jays tweeted.

MLB echoed similar sentiments in a tweet, noting that Guerrero Jr.’s All-Star Glove was “epic.”

Guerrero Sr. was a nine-time All-Star and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2018.

Guerrero Jr. stepped up with his bat during the All-Star Game, rocketing a 468-foot home run in the third inning to give the American League a 2-0 lead. It was the 200th home run in All-Star Game history, according to Fox Sports. At 22 years, 119 days old, Guerrero is the second-youngest player to hit one at the All-Star Game, according to MLB Stats. The youngest was Hall of Famer Johnny Bench. The Reds catcher was 21 years, 228 days old in 1969 when he connected at Washington’s D.C. Stadium.
