In one of the more light-hearted moments of the ‘23 All-Star Game, a pair of former teammates played a game of rock-paper-scissors from opposing dugouts.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., winner of the previous night’s HR Derby and a Blue Jays All-Star representative, played the game against Lourdes Gurriel Jr., a D-backs All-Star representative and former teammate of Vlad Jr. in Toronto.

The two had been Blue Jays teammates starting in Vlad Jr.’s 2019 debut season, which changed this past winter when Gurriel was part of a blockbuster trade with Arizona. What hasn’t changed was the apparent connection that the two All-Stars still have with one another.
It’s unclear who won the game, but it was clear that both were enjoying this game within the game and why not? This is, after all, one of the most fun individual games on the MLB calendar.
