Guerrero’s Grand Slam Ignites Home Crowd
The atmosphere at the Rogers Center was electric as fans erupted into cheers following Guerrero’s home run. This significant play was especially notable as it left Yankees broadcasters Dave Sims and Suzyn Waldman notably silent, providing a stark contrast to the excitement in the stadium.

Sims, in a brief yet dramatic commentary, captured the moment as Guerrero came to bat.

He’s looking to unload right here.” After the hit, it was clear that Guerrero delivered on that promise with a deep drive into left field, marking the grand slam.
