There are a lot of wonderful Javier Báez memories from his time as a Cub at Wrigley Field. The man is electric and plays baseball accordingly. We could spend an afternoon remembering his incredible home runs, unbelievable plays and the times he manufactured runs with his off the charts baseball IQ and what can only be described as Jedi Mind Tricks.
However, Javy is also electric off the field. I still own the Puerto Rico Fuerte shirt I bought through Joe Maddon’s shirt company Korked to support relief efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
