Chafin finds his ‘beater' after crowdsourcing Cubs fans

Share

Last week, Cubs reliever and social media star Andrew Chafin called on fans to help him find a "beater" to drive around the North Side this season.

Chafin, a guy who looks like he's from the 1970s with a glorious mustache, now has an '80s car to pair.

The Cubs reliever tweeted a photo showing his search culminated with the purchase of a bright red Pontiac Firebird.

Chafin has become a cult hero among Cubs fans in the first few weeks this season. On the field, he's delivered scoreless outings in five of six appearances. 

Online, a photo of the him with his sunglasses pulled down just under his eyes has sparked countless memes, with one edit showing a massive fire behind him.

With a sweet new ride, the legend of Chafin continues to grow.
