Vladimir Guerrero Jr. opens up about staying composed in the hostile Yankee Stadium atmosphere
Briefly

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. capped off a remarkable 2024 MLB season with a .323 batting average, 30 home runs, and 103 RBIs, solidifying his status as a key player for the Toronto Blue Jays. His exceptional performance led to his fourth All-Star selection and a 14-year, $500 million contract extension. Notably, Guerrero has thrived at Yankee Stadium, hitting 15 home runs there, and views the hostile environment positively, indicating respect from opposing fans. His recent game-winning homer against the Yankees highlighted both his skills and his approach to hitting under pressure.
"(It's) a blessing (to be so successful at Yankee Stadium), Guerrero said. (I feel) very comfortable on this field when I'm hitting. (Referring to jeering from Yankees fans) I try not to listen to that, but you never hear the fans booing a bad ballplayer. So if they boo you, that means you're good."
"That's what you work for, especially when you are actually looking for a certain pitch and that was the pitch that I was looking for. I put a good swing on it."
