Five months ago, David Bote had never stepped foot on the Wrigley Field sod.
Sunday night, he was hugging Bill Freakin' Murray on that same hallowed grass..
It's the kind of wild ride you couldn't even write a script about in Hollywood. You'd get turned away for concocting a story too far-fetched to be believed by the masses.
Yet this is actually happening to Bote, a 25-year-old rookie from Longmont, Colo.
Every time it seems like his rise has reached its plateau, he finds a way to upstage it.
But it's going to be pretty difficult to top Sunday night's heroics.
