As the Toronto Blue Jays sit at home like the rest of their fans, the MLB post season is underway which means fans can only get their fix of Blue Jays baseball from old clips.
One clip that has been making it's way around social media over the past couple days comes from Vladimir Guerrero and Bo Bichette's rookie season when they face Clayton Kershaw for the first time.
In his prime, Kershaw was one of the best pitchers to ever take the mound and one of his most extraordinary pitches was his curveball which was out of this world to say the least.
In this clip, both Guerrero and Bichette are seen looking at Kershaw amazed at his pitch after his curveball hit the catcher mitt. This was definitely their welcome to the big league moment.
Must read on Blue Jays Insider
When rookies Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. faced off against Clayton Kershaw for the first time. Their reactions to his legendary curveball will never get old
At the time, both players were just kids and could not believe their eyes from what Kershaw was throwing. Obviously they both eventually figured it out as they are now both great hitter, despite Bichette struggling this year at the plate but that's a whole other story.
Crazy enough, Bichette seemed to have figured Kershaw out quite rapidly as that same game he ended up hitting two homeruns against the legendary Dodgers pitcher.
Bo hit 2 HRs of Kershaw that game.
Bo made the adjustments
Kershaw is definitely no longer the pitcher he once was but in his prime, he was one of the most fun pitchers to watch do his thing.
