As someone who grew up in the sticks (no, seriously, go check out the Wikipedia page for Mazon, Illinois) – I always appreciate a country boy like Andrew Chafin who knows who he is, doesn’t try to conform or be someone he’s not. Rocking a mustache that could rival Ron Burgundy and anchoring the Chicago Cubs bullpen from the left side, he’s checking every possible box.
Of course, he played a critical role in the team’s historic combined no-hitter at Dodger Stadium on Thursday – but what he’s brought to the table this year for Chicago and manager David Ross has been nothing short of magnificent.
