Reigning NL Cy Young winner and Chicago Cubs ace Jake Arrieta just had himself a fucking night, boys, throwing his second career no-hitter in a 119-pitch, six strikeout, 16-0 victory over the hapless Cincinnati Reds.
And after the final out was caught in right field, as expected, Arrieta’s Cubbies’ mates poured out of the dugout to celebrate with him—and a Chicago fan wanted to take part in the on-field partying.

While rushing to the mound is a bold ass move, the fan took things to another level by actually tapping Jake Arrieta on the bill of the cap before cops could pull him away.

It was a night that Arrieta and his mates will never forget, and, somewhere, sitting in a jail cell, one Chicago fan is thinking the exact same thing. Way to man up, bro!
