Baby's Death and Baseball Tragedy
Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Alex Vesia was absent from the World Series due to a heartbreaking personal loss. On Saturday, he and his wife Kayla shared the reason for his mysterious absence: the death of their baby, Sterling Sol Vesia.
“Our little angel we love you forever & you’re with us always. Our beautiful daughter went to heaven Sunday October 26th. There are no words to describe the pain we’re going through but we hold her in our hearts and cherish every second we had with her.”
Vesia, 29, missed the entire World Series as the Dodgers cited his absence as due to a "deeply personal family matter" in their October 23 statement. The couple had announced in April that they were expecting a child.
They expressed gratitude to the Dodgers organization for their support during this difficult time.
“Thank you to the Dodgers for their understanding and support during this time. Our baseball family showed up for us and we wouldn’t be able to do this without them.”
