Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon scheduled a pajama party for his team’s flight home from L.A. on Sunday.
Little did he know the Cubs would be celebrating a masterful no-hit performance against the Dodgers from starting pitcher Jake Arrieta.
According to Jesse Rogers of ESPN.com, Maddon thought the pajama party would’ve been a good idea whether the team won or lost.
“It works both ways. If you win it’s even better, and if you’ve lost it’s kind of like, ‘Let’s put this behind us and move on.’ I see it as a win-win-win,” he said. “It’s about keeping the group together. It’s about having fun as a group.”
