Some things are bigger than winning or losing.
Okay, so yeah, the Jays lost Game 7 of the World Series to the Dodgers on November 1st, which killed me, honestly. But even though it was heartbreaking, the coolest thing happened. Their pitcher, Alex Vesia, was dealing with something really tough with his family, so he couldn’t be there, and the whole team just… rallied around him. They showed so much support, it wasn’t just about baseball, you know? It was genuinely amazing and I’ll never forget how they handled that – it really showed what kind of team they are!
You know, during that intense game on October 31st, I noticed something really touching. Several Blue Jays players wrote the number 51 – the jersey number of their teammate Vesia – on the brims of their hats. It was a beautiful show of support, and honestly, I heard it meant a lot to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts too. It’s those little moments of sportsmanship that really stand out to me.
He said on November 1st, as reported by Newsweek, that he only found out after the game last night, and he believes it demonstrates a strong sense of camaraderie among athletes.
The Dodgers’ fans showed a lot of support for their relief pitcher, which meant a lot to manager Dave Roberts, especially because his wife, Kayla Vesia, had recently announced they are expecting their first child in April. The timing made the support particularly meaningful.
He explained that it was incredibly moving to see his friends understand what Alex and Kayla had been through. He felt ‘heartbreaking’ didn’t even begin to describe it. Their acknowledgment showed just how much respect and love they had for each other, and it was a really significant show of support for Alex.
Dodgers player Kiké Hernández also praised the opposing team, calling their gesture “incredible” and a display of good sportsmanship.
He told reporters before game seven that he was incredibly impressed with the opposing team. He explained that while they were competing for a championship, they also recognized what truly matters in life, understanding that baseball is just a game. He commended their actions, especially considering the high stakes, and expressed his appreciation for their sportsmanship.
Vesia’s teammates missed him too, and they showed their support by writing his jersey number on their hats during the games.
As someone who observes team dynamics, I could really feel the love and respect the players have for Ves. Clayton Kershaw shared with reporters after the game that Ves means so much to everyone, and he was a key member of their bullpen. They really wanted to show their appreciation for everything he contributed.
