Sometimes after throwing your franchise's first no-hitter since 2008, you've got to rock a onesie covered in mustaches to the podium to talk to the press.

That's exactly what Chicago Cubs starter Jake Arrieta did after throwing a no hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday night. He struck out 12 in the process, the proverbial icing on the cake of his unbelievable turnaround since joining the Cubbies in 2013. Prior to his stint in Chicago, Arrieta toiled away in Baltimore where he posted a 5.46 ERA in 358 innings with the Orioles. This season, Arrieta is 16-6 with a 2.22 ERA as the Cubs look to make a deep run in the playoffs.
But the no-hitter wasn't even the best part of Arrieta's night. He showed up to his post-game press conference rocking a magical "mustache" onesie, and the dude just owned it. I guess you can throw on whatever you want after you've just tossed your first career no-hitter.
