Fernando Tatis Jr. has quickly become one of the faces of the MLB. The San Diego Padres star is a cornerstone for the franchise. However, the San Diego star did run into an issue last season. Tatis missed all of last season due to suspension from the league's PED regulations. As Tatis is continuing to get back into the swing of his former self on the field. Fans in visiting ballparks haven't been too receptive to Tatis' return to the game. Including the Cubs faithful at Wrigley Field.
On Tuesday night, fans at Wrigley showered Tatis in right field with plenty of insults. Including the chant of, "he's on steroids." Instead of becoming angry with the fans in Chicago, Tatis had a little fun with it. During the chant, Tatis was seen dancing to the beat of the insult. The actions by Tatis made the chant feel less fun for the fans in Chicago. However, both sides seemed to have a good time at the ballpark. Check out the clip of the viral moment below.

In the end, the Cubs got the last laugh. Chicago got the 5-0 victory over the Padres on Tuesday night. However, expectations are still high in San Diego. Along with Tatis, the Padres are filled with great talent. Including Manny Machado and Xander Bogaerts defining the left side of the field. The franchise has a lot of money tied into those three players. So if the team doesn't make a run at a World Series soon, decisions will have to be made.
