What an amazing moment. Contreras' reaction, the fans, him missing 1st base at first.. wow. Dreams coming true for that young man. Incredible.

A ball player only gets one first at bat in the MAJOR leagues. He was patient enough to go from 0-2 to 3-2. You could physically feel the magic building. It was just TOTAL JOY AND EXCITMENT!

He absolutely smashed it! I can’t wait for the Jomboy breakdown of this.

Cardinals fan for life here. Cubs are despised around my house. But as a baseball fan, i can't be anything but happy for him!

I'm from Georgia but was in town for business, ended up at this game. My first time at Wrigley field. It was great to be able to see this moment. Wrigley really is special.

The amount of support he got from the crowd and teammates are next to NONE!!! This is why we LOVE our Cubs!!!!!

If you'll notice the video board on the left field wall it says "Called up from AA Tennessee today...." ....yeah ....it was quite a moment. Great game

Had the pleasure of watching & being around Christopher a lot last season while working with the Smokies. He is so very talented, but his true gift is his positivity and fun he brings to the game. He was always smiles, dancing pregame or in the dugout, and just generally a goofy dude, but man, can he clobber a baseball!

Padres fan dropping by to spread some love. Don't care what team anyone plays for, seeing someone accomplish their dream brings a little tear to my eye.

Look at the bat flip! Swaggy rookie moment

He’s only 22. That’s insane man. Can’t wait to see what this dude does🤙🏼

amazing moment for him. and cubs fans are electric its so beautiful

The instantaneous roar is something I will never get tired of. Bear Down!

De lo mío! 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴 he's from my barrio in DR. So happy to see this kid doing well. You have a ton of support Chris, keep it going!

De Pueblo Nuevo, República Dominicana para el mundo🔥🔥🔥🔥

Watched this live! When the crowd stood up I knew he was going yard. Damn that was awesome ❤️💙

Absolutely crushed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

He hit it out of the park literally

That entire stadium was on there feet and had NO idea what was coming. Congrats Morel!

How much fun is this kid? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another great talented kid from DR 🇩🇴

I loved the way everyone got out of their seats when the count went to 3-2 possibly hoping the young player would walk after being 0-2. And then bam smash a home run! 😁

Dominican 🇩🇴 power 🔋 💪 felicidades a cristofer morel

Baseball might not be the top sport anymore but this sport has the best moments like this.

The home run was great, but the team chemistry and fan reaction was awesome! To see your team and especially the catcher get that excited for a rookie should make him feel welcomed.

I loved it! I love Christopher's energy and smile. Contreras's excitement and the cheers from the fans made it even more special. Wilson C. had a home run his first time up in 2016. What a special for this young. Keep it up and congrats!!!☺️

this its .. WELCOME TO THE SHOW !!!! my god .. aweson ..

Wow man , I remember watching Him in DR with the aguilas , happy for him

This guy has been underrated since we signed him. Bright future!

Amazing, amazing, amzing! Nice job Morel! Can't wait to see more of you. I'm coming to Wrigley to see it in-person.

Absolutley CRUSHED

Congratulations Man!! That feeling has to be amazing

Glad nobody on Pittsburgh took exception. Just a young cat that's been through a lot who homered in his first big league at bat! Congrats Christopher Morel

What a special night. ❤🐻

this is amazing. the thing i love is how he hugs like everyone.

“let’s f****** gooo” man I know that must feel so good

Bro hammered that ball

This kids gonna be a star

That.......Was........Awesome!!!!

Congratulations to Christopher . Welcome to the majors.

That's My Man Christopher Morel

Rounding first not even touching the ground, classic. No one knows about until they feel it, I hit a dinger in the playoffs my senior year and don’t even remember getting to second base! O.I.A.L

Man what a moment

Congratulations Morel

God I love Wrigley Field

That pitcher is a good sport. He sensed the moment, knew his count was down, and laid that ball in the perfect sweet spot for him. I love baseball!

Pretty dope the way the moment built up like that.

Wow if you get that many hugs from your teammates you know the team loves you

The hit was amazing and the bat flip was Legend 🤣

Truly a special moment.

Congratulations, Christopher Morel

El mejor cono memo

what a wonderful moment , wow i get goosebumps ...DR for life,,

He must’ve been on cloud 10…amazing at-bat. Congratulations young man!

What an incredible moment

I swear baseball is the greatest game ever played

He's a star.

I love baseball!!! Congrats!!!

Phenomenal job!👏🏽

This and Nick Plummer first hit to tie the game. Great night for baseball.

We should give out a Will ‘The Thrill’ Clark award for anyone who hits a homer in their first ML at bat! This Pirates Pitcher was having control problems. BTW The Thrill hit his off of The Great Nolan Ryan! 😉

love the energy, congrats kid

He definitley has a story to tell his future grandkids! Awesome job.

very special moment congrads to the fans and chris!!

An amazing moment. First of many I hope!

Definitely the most electric moment of the season for any team thus far..unbelievable

Welcome to the big leagues, big man!

That was an awesome moment for the young man. He crushed it too. Can't imagine what that must have felt like.

Destined For Greatness #CubNation

He’s using the Edwin Diaz walk out song! 👏👏👏Respect to the young man

What a moment for him!

Mr Morel and the Big Steppers

He will never forget that great turn 😁

About as a cool a moment as any position player could have for a debut at bat. If anybody knows how he's feeling it would be Contreras, since he did the same in 2016. Good stuff, congrats to Morel, wishing him a bright future.

This guy!!!

Awesome.

Crazy how different his stance is this year

I can only imagine how he and his family felt in that moment ⚡

That was like a scene that would happen in a movie 🐻🔴🔵

Congratulations to Christopher on his first major league home run.

My man really gave himself a self proclaimed curtain call after a fire bat flip. This kids future is bright. Not to mention He's played 4 different positions in just 5 games. Man I can't wait to see the future for this guy. #GoCubsGo

Vamos Memo 🥳🙌

He’s gotta have jelly legs in this at-bat. I can’t imagine how wild this had to be for this kid. Mind racing, lights in his face.

Contreras his biggest supporter..what a moment

Power

That was special

You gotta love baseball!

This kid is going places

How cool is that I hope he has a long career.

Welll I was gonna see him this weekend at the smokies stadium lol

wow wow wow

Perfection

Right On Warrior that's what I'm talking about Cubbies yeah baby 👍👍👍⭐⭐⭐💪💪💪

Morel has the batting stance of A-Rod and the power swing of Albert Pujols. Amazing!

He played for a Dominican team and I knew he had it in him.BUEN TRABAJO CHRISTOPHER!
