Since joining the LA Dodgers in 2021, reliever Alex Vesia has established himself as a very reliable bullpen arm for his team. The 29-year-old played an important role in helping his team win the World Series in 2024, and also impressed in the playoffs this year.
Unfortunately, the southpaw has not been able to take part in the Fall Classic this time around, as he is dealing with a personal matter alongside his family. During this time, it is not only the Dodgers, but also the Blue Jays that have shown their support for Vesia.
As popular baseball content page "Jomboy Media" reported via X, every Blue Jays reliever had the number '51' written on their hat during World Series Game 6 on Friday, as a tribute to Alex Vesia.
