The day after the Chicago Cubs clinched the NL Central, several members of the front office watched Friday’s game against the Milwaukee Brewers from the bleachers at Wrigley Field, including President Theo Epstein and GM Jed Hoyer.
Donning a fake mustache and ball cap, Epstein tried to disguise his identity but was unsuccessful as multiple people recognized the 42-year-old baseball executive.

After finishing last place in the division in Epstein’s first three years as president, the Cubs have made back-to-back postseason appearances and are the favorites to win the World Series this year, which would end a 108-year drought since the franchise’s last title.
It’s nice to see the front office having some fun before sweating it out in the playoffs.
