Fresh Off the End of His PED Suspension, Fernando Tatis Jr. Finds the Perfect Response to Cheeky Chicago Cubs Fans

Ever since Major League Baseball started testing for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003, over 100 players have been suspended. And history is repeating itself yet again with San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. It doesn’t matter if steroid allegations regarding a player are true or not. Once tainted, an athlete’s reputation takes a hard hit that can take a while to recover from.

Fans gave Tatis a hard time

At a recent game of San Diego Padres vs Chicago Cubs, Tatis made his second appearance at an MLB game after his return. After the relatively quiet first game set last weekend, fans let the shortstop know they hadn’t forgotten his absence, nor the reason for it.

What happened?

A part of the crowd loudly started chanting “He’s On Steroids” as Tatis stood in position. But completely unfazed, he turned around to acknowledge the crowd. And then, he started dancing! Busting out some moves in rhythm with the cries, the young player seemed completely unbothered. Barstool Baseball aptly captioned their post, “Fernando Tatis Jr is embracing the villain role.”

How did fans react?

“Crazy that their most famous player in history is famous because of steroids”, “Really glad he matured during his suspension”, “Most unlikable athlete in baseball”, some wrote in the comments. Some still had words of support to offer Tatis. “Haters going to hate”, “Villains are good for the sport. Glad he’s embracing it”, they wrote.
