Javier Baez

Twitter Explodes After Cubs' Javier Baez Steals Home

The Cubs started the first game of the National League Championship Series on a high note.

Kris Bryant doubled to send Dexter Fowler home in the first inning, then Javier Baez added another RBI in the second - but seeing as Baez has emerged as a postseason superstar, he still had a very impressive trick up his sleeve.

With Lester at the plate, Baez was caught dead to rights off of third base, and yet he still managed to get home after Carlos Ruiz's throw went to the bag, giving the Cubs a 3-0 lead.

Incredible as it was to watch, it was also, of course, historic. The last time the Cubs stole home in a playoff game was in the 1907 World Series.

Naturally after an unbelievable play like that, Cubs fans on Twitter exploded in the most hilarious way: [[397209081, C]]
