Pitch the Cubs to a W.
Hit the ball.
Score a run.
STEAL A BASE.

Yup, Mr. Lilly stole his first career base today against the drain-circling Giants, en route to a 9-8 victory. (we're NOT talking about Barry's homers) For the W, the hit, the run and the steal - Teddy Bear, you are my Baseball Boyfriend of the Day. And it doesn't hurt that you're super cute.

Plus, he was kind enough to show Fox his different pitch grips- I find this fascinating stuff.
