LOS ANGELES —
Dodgers relievers wore Vesia’s No. 51 on their caps as a tribute to their absent teammate. Blue Jays relievers joined them in the tribute for Game 6.
Vesia and his wife thanked the medical staff at Cedars Sinai Medical Center for taking care of their family. They also thanked both teams for their understanding and support.
“Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them,” the Vesias wrote. “Thank you Dodger Nation, Blue Jays organization and all baseball fans for your love and support. We have seen ALL your messages, comments and posts. It’s brought us so much comfort.”
The Dodgers beat the Blue Jays in seven games, their second straight World Series championship.
“The MLBPA sends its love and support to Alex and Kayla Vesia at this difficult time,” the MLB players’ union said in a statement. “Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the entire Dodgers community.”
