Cubs front office gets last laugh in prank war with Tommy La Stella

MESA, Ariz. -- The Chicago Cubs front office may have just had the last laugh in an on-going prank war with back-up infielder Tommy La Stella. Team president Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer had first baseman Anthony Rizzo record a message that was played on the video board during the Cubs' sold-out spring game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday.

Rizzo implored the crowd to help find a “life partner” for La Stella while making fun of him for not being very social and having poor hygiene.

“Tommy is really, really lonely,” Rizzo said.
