MOST. FUN. DAY. EVER.
Getting to hang at Wrigley Field and play baseball with an All-Star major leaguer? Are you kidding?! Willson Contreras is the nicest guy, and it was great to spend time with him. After playing catch to get loose, he gave me some defensive tips behind the plate, and then we took batting practice. I came close to hitting a few balls out; he launched several moonshots deep into the bleachers . . . of course. He's a beast, and it was fun to talk baseball with him and experience his athleticism up close.

I sit in the bleachers at Wrigley a lot, and whenever Wilson comes out early before the game to warm up the starter, I can just see how genuine and amazing he is. He always talks to people in the bleachers and has a great time with us. It's so amazing to have this guy on my favorite team.

@zackhample 5 лет назад

I'm so glad to hear that he's friendly to everyone all the time -- and not surprised.

@shuuyt9703 5 лет назад

Nice job zack!

@elandtee4398 5 лет назад

jr132 lol Willson is the same guy who throws baseballs 100+ MPH into the stands in Busch. Also the same guy who said he was better than Yadi. He isn't.

@CubsBaseball 5 лет назад

Cy Mikolas looks like we have a salty cardinals fan, who tf cares if he throws baseballs 100+ MPH into the stands? And im pretty sure he is now as good as Yadi because hes aging and Wilson is playing just as well as him rn.

@elandtee4398 5 лет назад

Cubs Baseball Yadi's stats are better. And the problem with throwing a ball 100+ MPH in the stands is that somebody could get hurt. Remember last year when a ball got hit in the stands and nearly killed a child?

2 major memories from wrigley: 1. Nailed with a foul ball in the head 2. Going on the field and getting to play and hit (I was 5 for 1 and 6-7 for the second)
