Vladimir Guerrero Jr. bests Celtics GM with first HR

Toronto Blue Jays rookie Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his first MLB home run on Tuesday. In doing so, he bested a record previously held by…Danny Ainge.

With his home run, Guerrero became the youngest player in franchise history to hit a round tripper. The record was previously held by Ainge (H/T Sarah Langs, MLB).

At 20 years, 59 days old, Vlad Jr. is the youngest player in Blue Jays franchise history to hit a home run.

The record was previously held by Danny Ainge, whose youngest homer came at 20 years, 77 days old.

We tend to remember Ainge for his career in the NBA, first as a player and now as the general manager of the Boston Celtics. But before his time in the NBA began, Ainge played 211 games for the Blue Jays between 1979-1981. He hit two career home runs, both of which came in 1979.

Chances are, Guerrero will pass Ainge on the career home run list quite soon.
