In a touching display of sportsmanship and compassion, Los Angeles Dodgers fans have raised nearly $30,000 for SickKids hospital in Toronto, inspired by 150 Blue Jays fans who donated to Seattle Children's Hospital after their team's American League championship series loss. The gesture, sparked by a Reddit post suggesting fans pay $51 as a tip of the hat to pitcher Alex Vesia, who missed the World Series due to a family emergency. As fans rallied behind Vesia and his wife Kayla, they were unaware of the couple's tragic loss of their infant daughter, Sterling Sol Vesia. In a heartfelt message, the couple revealed their devastating news, thanking the Dodgers organization, the Blue Jays, and the baseball community for their love and support during this difficult time. The outpouring of kindness has brought comfort to the Vesia family, with over 400 donors from the US contributing to SickKids throughout the series. Many also pledged to make monthly donations, with some even signing messages about the Blue Jays or baseball. The gesture is a testament to the power of sports to bring people together and provide solace in times of need.
