Shota Imanaga’s locker in
#Cubs
clubhouse has a new name on it: “Mike Imanaga II”
Why?
Mike is his coffee name when he orders his cup of Joe because it’s easier than Shota.
And the “II”?
“It just sounds cool.”

Asked Christopher Morel who the most famous person to reach out to him after the walk-off HR:
His grandma, who doesn’t own a cell phone and doesn’t watch his games, saw a replay with the elder Morel and she called him to congratulate him.

“He’s like our ringleader. He’s a veteran, a person to follow with his work on & off the field. Just like he helped me, he has helped so many Latinos that have spent time with him. That’s the heart he has.”
