Reese McGuire Had a Very Reese McGuire Reason for Signing with the Cubs

The Chicago Cubs' newest catcher, Reese McGuire, has made a declaration that's got everyone in the MLB parking lot of confusion. After agreeing to a minor league deal with the Cubs, McGuire, with the confidence of a man who's just discovered a new continent, proclaimed that Wrigley Field boasts the "Biggest parking lot in baseball." Yes, you read that right - not the best ketchup-slathered hot dogs, not the most ivy-covered walls, but the biggest parking lot.

Now, you might wonder why McGuire is so passionate about parking lot dimensions. Well, let's just say his past has given him a unique appreciation for the privacy and space that a good parking lot can provide, following a certain incident involving indecent exposure in, you guessed it, a parking lot.

Before joining the Cubs, McGuire took his tape measure on a grand tour, visiting every MLB stadium to size up their lots. But here's the kicker - he couldn't measure the North Japan Samurai's parking lot because he couldn't leave the country. Turns out, according to Statfax, Samurai Stadium's lot is actually the biggest at a mind-boggling 100 billion square feet, making McGuire's claim as accurate as a weather forecast in Chicago.

North Japan's Samurai Stadium has a parking lot measuring 100 billion square feet, which is the biggest in MLB, and an MLB record, per Statfax.

The Cubs' locker room has turned into a comedy club with reactions from teammates. Dansby Swanson, trying to keep a straight face, said, "I guess we're not here to play baseball, we're here to park cars." Newly acquired Kyle Tucker, puzzled, asked, "Did he use Google Maps or did he actually walk it out?" Meanwhile, Seiya Suzuki, still processing the information, muttered, "パーキングロットが重要なんですか？（Is a parking lot really that important?)"

And the plot thickens - McGuire's first stop is the Iowa Cubs, the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate, where the idea of a parking lot is more of a suggestion than a reality. It's just a dirt lot behind a cornfield. When asked about this, McGuire, with the wisdom of a seasoned traveler, said, "I'll play that one by ear."

So, as the Cubs gear up for another season, fans might find themselves discussing parking lot sizes rather than batting averages, thanks to Reese McGuire. Whether his claim holds up or not, one thing's for sure - McGuire has brought a whole new level of parking lot prestige to the game.
