Here\u2019s a throwback for Fisher Cats fans: A few familiar faces from New Hampshire\u2019s minor league team are in the spotlight during the World Series.<\/p>\n

Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., is one notable former Fisher Cat who has powered the Toronto Blue Jays to a 3-2 lead<\/a> against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the fall classic. The Jays, the Fisher Cats\u2019 major league affiliate, are seeking to win their first World Series since 1993<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Actually, a number of Jays players once played for the Manchester-based Double-A team. The latest to be in the spotlight: pitcher Trey Yesavage, 22, who was on the mound for the Fisher Cats this past June. In a commanding performance, Yesavage recorded 12 strikeouts Wednesday as the Jays defeated the Dodgers.<\/p>\n

There are 11 former Fisher Cats<\/a> on the Jays World Series roster. They include Addison Barger, Davis Schneider, and pitchers Braydon Fisher, Mason Fluharty, and Jeff Hoffman. Manager John Schneider played and was a manager of the Cats.<\/p>\n

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats are hosting a World Series watch party on their home turf, at the Samuel Adams Brewhouse at Delta Dental Stadium, for Game 6 tonight. They\u2019re planning another watch party, if necessary, Saturday night.<\/p>\n

Blue Jays pitcher Trey Yesavage was on the mound for the Fisher Cats until just a few months ago. His 12-strikeout showing in the World Series gave the Blue Jays a 3-2 edge heading into game 6.<\/p>\n
