An emotional health care appreciation night at Dodger Stadium held special meaning for reliever Alex Vesia and his wife, Kayla. The evening honored the health care workers who supported the couple during the birth and passing of their daughter, Sterling Sol.
During the game, Vesia thanked the group of health care workers, greeting them with hugs on the field. They all wore custom T-shirts with the Dodgers logo and Sterling's initials.
Vesia was taken off the roster ahead of the World Series in late October, with his wife, Kayla, due to give birth. Their daughter died two days later. Alex Vesia spoke publicly for the first time since his daughter's passing, thanking the Dodgers and the baseball community for their support.'I'm going to cry man. It's a very emotional day,' he said. 'Everybody up there played a very, very big part. Kay and I are just so happy to able to at least share today ... it's unbelievable.'
