Chicago Cubs designated hitter Christopher Morel was fired up to say the least after hitting a walk-off home run to defeat the crosstown rival White Sox.
Morel handed the Cubs a 4-3 win as he blasted a three-run homer off White Sox reliever Gregory Santos in the bottom of the ninth. That’s when the party started.
The 24 year old in his second MLB season removed his helmet as he rounded first base and then tossed it in celebration as the fans at Wrigley Field went wild. He continued his sprint around the bases, then pulled off his jersey and tossed it as he rounded third. He emphatically jumped on home plate and then was mobbed by his teammates. His undershirt was ripped away entirely during the raucous celebration.
The victory improved the Cubs to 62-58 on the season. They sit three games back of the first-place Milwaukee Brewers and are in a tie for the final wild-card spot.
