Willson Contreras and viral moments at Cubs Convention go hand-in-hand.
At the team’s annual fan festival in 2018, Contreras stole the show with a story from the 2017 season. During a mound visit against the Cardinals, the Cubs catcher gave profanity-laced advice to JonLester, the Cubs starter who rarely throws pickoffs due to a serious case of the yips.
"I went out there and I said, 'Hey motherf--ker, throw the f--king ball to first,'” Contreras recalled in January 2018.
Contreras stole the show again Saturday, telling a story about a moment against the Cardinals — this time from the 2019 season.
