Javy Baez Goes Full Unicorn During Magical Slide

[Narrator]: This is a public service announcement brought to you by Cubs Insider and the Ad Council. Kids, don’t ever slide headfirst. The dangers are greater than those presented by dope, even something as seemingly harmless as the reefer. Just look at what happened to Javier Baez during spring training, when he injured his thumb trying to beat a throw at first. [mumbling in background]

[Narrator, distracted]: Puffin’ the cheeba might turn you into a raving lunatic, but the worst that’ll happen to your thumb is a little burn if you’re pinching the roach too close to the cherry.
