• The original Vladimir Guerrero, Hall of Famer and proud dad, and/or
• Vladimir Guerrero Jr himself, who put a dynamic charge into an unforgettable moment.

The Québecois announcers harbored no such illusions. This was a moment joyeux, and they were gonna savor it on behalf of baseball fans everywhere:

 

Vlad the Younger's MLB highlight reel has its first entry, and he's not even in the MLB yet.

From the looks of things, he will be. Soon.
