9 sweet Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Sr. photos after they’re first father-son duo to win the Home Run Derby

How cool is that?

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is a Home Run Derby champion in 2023, besting Randy Arozarena in the final round at T-Mobile Park on Monday night.

As many folks noted after the win, he joins former champions including his Hall of Fame dad, Vladimir Guerrero, who grabbed the title in 2007. Do you know who was there in attendance to watch and join him on the field?

Yep, that would be Vlad Jr., as you’ll see below. And Vlad Sr. was the proudest dad on Twitter, which made this whole thing just wonderful.

Check out some photos of the pair over the years below Guerrero Sr.’s tweet:
