One Cubs fan turned Friday night’s Twins-Cubs game into an internet moment for all the wrong reasons - or maybe the exact reason he wanted. Broadcast cameras caught a man in the stands wearing a shirt that said: “I got my prostate examined on Epstein Island.”
The image spread fast after a screenshot made the rounds on X, with fans stunned that the shirt made it onto live TV in the first place. The reaction was instant, and plenty of people treated the fan like a walking punchline with a story to tell. “You know when you see someone and you just say ‘I’d like to have a beer with that guy - I feel like he’s got a lot to say’,” one person wrote.
“Not the worst idea, he knew all the best scientists and doctors,” another user commented.
“You know some Karen was offended and let him know why. 😂,” a third person added.
“Guess who’s ordering one for a family trip to Mexico,” one fan wrote.
The shirt’s viral moment came during the Cubs’ 5-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. Ryan Jeffers cracked the game open with a three-run homer in the third inning, and Bailey Ober struck out seven over 5 1/3 innings for Minnesota.
Chicago was back at Wrigley on Saturday trying to split the weekend series after dropping the opener. At the time of writing, the Cubs were leading the Twins 5-1.
Even with the result still hanging in the balance on Saturday, the night’s most memorable moment already belonged to the shirt in the stands.

Wild Fans Just Got A New Reason To Watch This Re-Signing Closely
Quinn Hughes became eligible to sign a contract extension with the Wild on July 1, and the timing has naturally put his future back in the spotlight for Minnesota fans. The defenseman has been a major part of the conversation around the team, and head coach John Hynes recently offered a positive read on where things stand, pointing to Hughes comfort in Minnesota and the relationships he has built inside the organization.
Hynes also noted Hughes connection with general manager Billy Guerin and the coaching staff, along with the success he has had since arriving, as reasons for his optimism. Still, there has been no official extension announcement, which leaves this as one of the more closely watched situations on the Wilds summer calendar. [Read more 🡒]
Wild Goalie Stability May Not Last As Long As Fans Think
Minnesotas goaltending picture looks settled for now, with Filip Gustavsson and Jesper Wallstedt set to carry the tandem into next season. The arrangement gives the Wild a mix of established NHL experience and a younger option with plenty of upside, which is exactly the kind of balance teams like to believe can buy them time while the rest of the roster develops around it.
Jesper Wallstedts contract situation is the part that keeps the long view from feeling so simple. He is heading toward restricted free agency, and the Wild know the clock is already ticking on when they will need to make a more permanent call in goal, especially with the possibility of an expansion draft adding another layer of pressure to their planning.

Wild Stars Feud Is Starting To Feel Bigger Than Ever
The Wild and Stars have spent years circling each other as one of the Central Divisions most combustible matchups, with the old North Stars history still hanging over every meeting like a bruise that never quite fades. What makes this stretch feel different is how much talent is now packed into both rosters, from Kirill Kaprizov, Matt Boldy and Brock Faber on one side to Wyatt Johnston, Mikko Rantanen and Roope Hintz on the other, giving the rivalry a real chance to live beyond nostalgia and into the leagues present tense.
Recent playoff history has only sharpened the edge. Dallas knocked Minnesota out in 2016 and again in 2023, then the Wild answered with a six-game series win last spring, a back-and-forth that fits the sense that these teams are headed for more collisions, not fewer. With both clubs built to contend and the Central Division likely to keep them on a collision course, the next chapter may come sooner than either fan base would like. [Read more 🡒]
