CHICAGO CUBS

Fernando Tatis Jr. Dances To Wrigley Field Taunt: Video

by

Fernando Tatis Jr. has quickly become one of the faces of the MLB. The San Diego Padres star is a cornerstone for the franchise. However, the San Diego star did run into an issue last season. Tatis missed all of last season due to suspension from the league’s PED regulations. As Tatis is continuing to get back into the swing of his former self on the field. Fans in visiting ballparks haven’t been too receptive to Tatis’ return to the game. Including the Cubs faithful at Wrigley Field.

On Tuesday night, fans at Wrigley showered Tatis in right field with plenty of insults. Including the chant of, “he’s on steroids.” Instead of becoming angry with the fans in Chicago, Tatis had a little fun with it. During the chant, Tatis was seen dancing to the beat of the insult. The actions by Tatis made the chant feel less fun for the fans in Chicago. However, both sides seemed to have a good time at the ballpark. Check out the clip of the viral moment below.

Fernando Tatis Jr. Has Fun With Cubs Fans

In the end, the Cubs got the last laugh. Chicago got the 5-0 victory over the Padres on Tuesday night. However, expectations are still high in San Diego. Along with Tatis, the Padres are filled with great talent. Including Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts defining the left side of the field. The franchise has a lot of money tied into those three players. So if the team doesn’t make a run at a World Series soon, decisions will have to be made.

When it comes to Tatis’ PED suspension, the Padres star still denies it. Tatis claims that he never intentionally took the performance-enhancing drug that came up positive on his test. However, Tatis has apologized for his actions and what his suspension did to the team. Tatis is well aware of what he brings to the team when at full health. So, do you think Fernando Tatis is handling vising crowds the right way? Let us know what you think in the comment section. For the latest MLB news, keep it right here with HNHH.

Lil Durk Nearly Pulled A 50 Cent With His First Pitch At White Sox-Cubs

Being invited to throw out the first pitch before an MLB game is a cool honor, but it also can be a nerve-wracking experience if you don’t have a lot of baseball experience. It seems simple enough: throw the ball 55 or so feet from in front of the mound and get it over the plate, but those that haven’t thrown a ball in awhile come to learn the hard way that it’s very different from their few warmup tosses in the tunnel before going out there.

Really bad first pitches aren’t just embarrassing, but can become a lasting part of someone’s legacy. 50 Cent is the best example of that and still has the first pitch to which all bad first pitches are compared to, as he fired a ball a good 20 feet wide of the plate. He’s far from the only star of the sports or entertainment world to have a dreadful first pitch experience, but his is the lasting example of a disaster.

On Sunday, we got another entry into the bad first pitch category from a rapper, as Lil Durk threw out the first pitch at Wrigley Field before Cubs-White Sox and had the poor Cubs mascot diving in vain for a ball that bounced outside the batter’s box.

The good news for Lil Durk is that he’s focusing on the positives of the love he got, not the jokes from Twitter.

It’s not quite 50 Cent, who barely threw it into the dirt area around home plate, but it is a pretty terrible effort. I’m sure Lil Durk hasn’t exactly spent a lot of time throwing baseballs recently, but it should serve as a reminder to managers everywhere that if your client isn’t someone that throws a ball often, there’s no shame in turning down a first pitch opp to keep them from going viral.
