5:57 that shot of his socks really pulled this whole thing together.

Came for Vlad... Left depressed.

This was hardly about Vlad

SO happy I learned all about what Vlad Jr.’s life is like in the minors. Amazing. Inspiring.

He got his first major league hit today: a double in the bottom of the ninth

Wish they focused on Vlad more than that savant chicken mascot.

Anyone watching after the home run derby

You forget how good long form journalism can be until you see something like this.

Very little Vlad, a lot of RIP West Virginia.

And now Vladdy became the youngest player to hit 48 homeruns in a year and lost an MVP only to a Japanese Babe Ruth

This is an incredible story - there's an oscar winning film there (or actual documentary) also - the "morning ladies" *sprays pits and puts on chicken costume* is the real star here

And now look wheres he at! The *Home Run Derby!*

Wow this is true backwoods rookie/a ball! Really feel spoiled with the low a stadium I have tickets for. So true with guys barely making money and being here cause they love the game.

I 💓 Baseball. Watching from London UK ⚾🇬🇧

it was crazy to see this filmed in my home town

Just seeing this now for the first time in 2022, Jays are poised to maybe win the World Series this year in large part, thanks to this dude.

Love the video Fernando, hope you you do more in the future like this. Take us to some of the other levels, that would be great to see.

In 2021 hes leading the majors in homers about 65 games in 23 homers hes also leading the a.l in batting avg. Hits and rbi.s paying off

Bruhhh I’m out here watching this and right as it says his career starts here I get a notification the vlad got called up that’s wild

Make more videos like thsi

Must have been nice to get a 4 million dollar contract at 17 years old to play in the middle of nowhere in front of the retirement home. Let’s say he never made it to the big leagues. If he was smart with that money, start a business, smart investments. Set for life.

I lived in WVA when I was in my 20s for a couple of years - I’m from Chicago - holy shit - I watched Deliverance and WVA is just like that. I’ve lived in many states, and there no bigger dumps than WVA. ARK, ND, NM, LA, and AL in that order.

Very nice documentary, wish it was longer

When the TB Rays move to Montreal and become the Expos, it will make the rivalry even more interesting!

Keep working and moving foward my Dominicans and everybody else in this video. Jesús Christ loves you all :)

you should do a video on the montclair cup the rivalry between the two schools in the town of montclair

Update: Vlad's killing it

no he is debuting in the mlb

I would love to live in a small community like this for a year to focus on playing ball

Now he’s the starting 3B of the Toronto blue jays. 💪💯

It sucks that these teams are shut down now

I’m from Bluefield

2 years later...

Vlad should’ve won the hr derby

Now on 2021 he is mvp candidate

Imagine of West Virginia became the biggest producer of solar panels? Times are changing up next are the truck drivers

first 2 major league HOMERS baby

How to make a short film around 20 seconds of vlad interview

I wanted to watch for Vlad. I saw chicken i closed the video.

Roscoe the Rooster is the new Tea Girl...

Jesus Sanchez sighting!

2:59 Chamber of Commerce!?!?

Did know one see that dude behind vlad picking his nose

No batting gloves

In the South, it's "App-a- LATCH-cha" not "App-a-LAY-sha."

For the ladies...

How many kids play baseball year round in the Dominican Republic

is this the vice sports content purge?

home run derby anyone

I hate little towns like this. It seems so lonely and dead and it makes me sad

Vlad is the best minor league player in the country

Really cool to see a bunch of Rays prospects that I worked with this year in the video!

Hey that's where i live

Ayy vladdy jr

3:11

Damn anyone else from Mercer county New Jersey and got absolutely confused when u saw Mercer county west Virginia Our priceton is in Mercer county as well as theirs lol, but ours has the university Our Mercer County has a AA team, the trenton thunder, and they’re always good so they really don’t have rivals

Princeton Rays but their mascot is a chicken? Huh..

Skipped through this entire documentary looking for Vlad Jr, and all I got was bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

he'll be a Hall Of Famer, mark my words...

No se varon hahahah

Yeo I felt taht when your in a slump no one wants ya like damn my whole season went like taht bc I never was played feel bad ab the coal going away though

A College wood bat league now.

How does Vlad jr not speak English?!?!? His dad couldn't buy him a tutor growing up?

stupid title

Sooo this was random. No storyline or point.

Dude mak8ng it to the Major Leagues isnt that hard....all u javr to do is be obe of the best players on the world and be dortunste enough tokbe spitred at the rifht time on thw right team and be ox sistenr for about 5 years through each level of the minors...and then when u get called up the majors where the level of play is night and outer space you just have to be good roght off the bat or you'll be dropped right back down to the minors.....ane its not a mentslly rough fame. All u have to do is fault 7 out of 1p timws at the plate so you 3 entire at bats to make u feel good our of 10.....shiiiit only reason i dosnt make the majors was because I cohldnt even get scouted by a division 1 college.....and I didnt get cloae to beibg drafted. That's the only reason im not Willy Mays

Jesus is the only way to heaven ✝️

This sucked.

I would never want to live in such boring cities like these

No worries Bluefield, AN ENTIRE FUCKING NATION HAS YOUR BACK! LETS GO BLUE JAYS!!

Waste of 10 mins of my life!!! Absolutely nothing bout Vlad Jr

Thanks Obama.

First bitches

Why the fuck would anyone watch “vice sports”

TRUMP 2020! MAGA

trump will bring those coal jobs back. MAGA!
