One great snapshot of Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has been making the rounds on social media.
MLB photographer Colton Hall took a photo of the 3-time All-Star during the Blue Jays’ recently concluded series against the Boston Red Sox at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada.
The picture showed Guerrero from a low angle with his back turned to the camera. Toronto’s famous CN Tower was seen jutting over the Rogers Centre’s perimeter in the background.
Honestly, might be my favorite shot I’ve taken in 7 years of working for the MLB. #bluejays #vladimirguerrerojr pic.twitter.com/u0m1Cpkyvg

The photo was so clean that it almost looked like a graphic made using editing software.
Several fans made sure to express their appreciation for Hall’s work.
That’s the single greatest baseball photograph I’ve seen in my life.
You’re a genius

Unreal I thought this was a graphic

The first half of the Blue Jays’ 2024 campaign hasn’t nearly been as picturesque as the photo of Guerrero suggests. The team entered Friday’s slate of games with a 35-39 record, which places them last in the competitive AL East. It didn’t help that Toronto got swept by the Red Sox earlier this week during the three-game series from which the photo was taken.
The Blue Jays have also had to ward off trade rumors surrounding Guerrero and another one of their young stars.
