Cubs' Javier Baez Accidentally Exposed His Eggplant During ESPN's 'Body Issue' Shoot

And people weren't mad.

Boston Celtics point guard Isaiah Thomas and Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott certainly got into their respective shoots for ESPN the Magazine's annual "Body Issue."

But perhaps Chicago Cubs second baseman Javier Baez got a little too carried away with his.

While taking swings for his "Body Issue" behind-the-scenes shoot, Baez accidentally exposed his manhood, becoming the first athlete to show off the full package in the magazine's history.

But people weren't mad. In fact, it was much the opposite as the World Series champ instantly gained many new, adoring fans for his eggplant. Let's call it a thirst-trap home run.
