Javier Baez was born on Dec. 1, 1992, in Puerto Rico and didn't move to Florida until 2005. So you know what, no it shouldn't be surprising that he doesn't know who The Beatles are after Joe Maddon compared him to one of them.
So, last night after Baez dazzled on the field, had a home run robbed despite instant replay and scored the game-winning run in the 10th inning on a stolen base attempt, Cubs manager Joe Maddon compared him to one of The Beatles. Maddon couldn't pinpoint exactly which one.
Maybe George Harrison.
It turns out that Maddon made the original comparison a few days ago, when the Cubs were playing in San Francisco, but when Baez was asked about it he had no clue who they were. And it's not like Baez was saying he doesn't know who The Beatles are because he thought it was a bad thing. It was the exact opposite.
Here's a short clip of Baez being asked if he knows who The Beatles are.

Anyway, give me Baez over The Beatles right now.
Always something exciting when Javier Baez is on the field.
