Sometimes, the apple doesn't fall all that far from the tree.
That's true with the Toronto Blue Jays, who have three players whose fathers once played in MLB. Those sons are Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Bo Bichette and Daulton Varsho.
That trio of second-generation MLB players gets to take center stage now as the Blue Jays compete in the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
It's certainly a cool opportunity for these three guys who grew up watching their fathers pursue the biggest goal to now have a chance to try and get it for themselves.
Who is Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s father?
This one is simple: Vladdy Jr.'s dad is Vladimir Guerrero Sr.
He was a legend and Hall of Famer for the Montreal Expos, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim and more.
Vlad Sr. was an MVP, a nine-time All Star and a Home Run Derby champion who hit .318 with 449 MLB home runs. He never won a World Series, though.

Who is Bo Bichette's father?
Bo Bichette's dad is Dante Bichette.
He was a four-time All Star who spent the majority of his career with the Colorado Rockies.
Dante batted .299 and hit 274 home runs. He, too, never won a World Series.

Who is Daulton Varsho's father?
Dalton Varsho's dad is Gary Varsho.
He played seven MLB seasons between the Pirates, Cubs, Reds and Phillies, batting .244 for his career. Gary never won a World Series, either.
Where is Cavan Biggio?
The only bummer here is that the Blue Jays no longer have Cavan Biggio, who came through the minors as a teammate of Vladdy and Bo.
Cavan is the son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio.
He split this past season between the Royals and Angels organizations, and at this point is a journeyman.
