Javier Baez

The Chicago Cubs will go up against a familiar face on Monday night when they open a series against the Detroit Tigers, as they’ll battle Javier Báez for the first time ever.

While former Chicago Cubs shortstop Javier Báez is in his second year in Detroit and perhaps yearning for the statistical success of his days on the North Side, Cubs’ fans can take a moment on Saturday to look back on and appreciate the moment El Mago arrived in the big leagues with a bang.
