WHAT A MOMENT! Christopher Morel hits a HOME RUN in his FIRST Major League at-bat!!

[@jamess2764]

What an amazing moment. Contreras' reaction, the fans, him missing 1st base at first.. wow. Dreams coming true for that young man. Incredible.

[@ganggang517]

best first at bat ever

[@joelgarcia5501]

I was front row and this was amazing!!!!

[@jamess2764]

@@joelgarcia5501 no kidding? That's AWESOME. Something to remember forever for sure!

[@cubzrulz]

Contreras' reaction was poetic. Back in 2016 he homered off the first pitch in his debut as well.

[@rstidman]

I hope he gets hit in the face at 95+ MPH in every plate appearance the next game he plays. I love showboating, but even I understand a 1st-game rookie should show respect or get what we expect.

[@theargus2340]

I'm from Georgia but was in town for business, ended up at this game. My first time at Wrigley field. It was great to be able to see this moment. Wrigley really is special.

Had the pleasure of watching & being around Christopher a lot last season while working with the Smokies. He is so very talented, but his true gift is his positivity and fun he brings to the game. He was always smiles, dancing pregame or in the dugout, and just generally a goofy dude, but man, can he clobber a baseball!

@STRONGEST NATTY IN THE WORLD. I think your Caps Lock key is stuck, but I would need you to post a picture of your keyboard to prove it's not.

[@barbaraelliott3605]

A ball player only gets one first at bat in the MAJOR leagues. He was patient enough to go from 0-2 to 3-2. You could physically feel the magic building. It was just TOTAL JOY AND EXCITMENT!

[@juanwarez3444]

If you'll notice the video board on the left field wall it says "Called up from AA Tennessee today...." ....yeah ....it was quite a moment. Great game

[@Bukkshot95]

look at the stat line there too! pretty tough

[@gametimetrevor]

Love that the ball cleared right over it to emphasize. So badass

I can say with absolute certainty that the three seconds after he hit that ball...knowing he crushed it, watching the trajectory, hearing the crowd...was the best feeling this guy ever had up to this point.

amazing moment for him. and cubs fans are electric its so beautiful

[@Fly-The-W]

Been banging it this year too! Cubs got some kinks to workout but they are absolutely headed in the right direction. Feels like a division title is possible even this year if they get more consistent.

[@brianleitnerthehistorygeek]

The home run was great, but the team chemistry and fan reaction was awesome! To see your team and especially the catcher get that excited for a rookie should make him feel welcomed.

[@rring44]

He hit it out of the park literally

[@casualobserver77]

Cardinals fan for life here. Cubs are despised around my house. But as a baseball fan, i can't be anything but happy for him!

Amazing, amazing, amzing! Nice job Morel! Can't wait to see more of you. I'm coming to Wrigley to see it in-person.

[@mattsmith4589]

Congratulations Man!! That feeling has to be amazing

[@ChowDownDetroit]

Baseball might not be the top sport anymore but this sport has the best moments like this.

[@Spitfire_1940]

It's only not the top sport for me because of how many games they play, and the start of the season is during the playoffs for other sports so I don't watch much. Get into late June, I am all in lol

[@chewcodes]

I can't understand how baseball isn't the top sports, all the other ones are either very boring or very confusing.

I loved the way everyone got out of their seats when the count went to 3-2 possibly hoping the young player would walk after being 0-2. And then bam smash a home run! 😁
