The Chicago Cubs are having a good year. They secured a playoff berth on Thursday and they are favored to win the World Series, something Cubs fans haven't seen in more than a century.

So naturally, when the team's president wanted to watch from the stands, he had to take precautions. A fake mustache should be enough to disguise the face of Theo Epstein, the man largely responsible for the club's success, right?

Nope.

Photos of Epstein and other Cubs executives sitting in the Wrigley Field bleachers surfaced during the game on Thursday.

After the game, Epstein told ESPN the stunt was a result of an in-office deal. If the team won the division, office staff promised to watch from the bleachers.

"Made kind of a half-assed attempt to stay incognito, but it was fun. It was a blast out there," he said.
