Cubs' Jake Arrieta pitched a no-hitter and then did a presser in his pajamas

The Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 2-0 night to snap their five-game win streak on Sunday thanks to Jake Arrieta, who pitched his first career no-hitter.

He then proceeded to do his post-game press conference in a onesie.

As fun as it would be for this to have just been a Jake Arrieta thing, it was manager Joe Maddon who declared that all players would be mandated to wear pajamas for the flight back to Chicago before the road trip started, so everyone was in on it.

This, on top of bringing a DJ to perform at Spring Training and canceling batting practice for “American Legion” week, means Maddon is now up there in the Greatest Bosses Ever category.

Just look at him.
