Cubs Stars Crash Wedding Photoshoot in Japan
Even though the Chicago Cubs lost both 2025 MLB Tokyo Series games to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the players seemed to enjoy themselves.
Outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and designated hitter/first baseman Justin Turner made the most of their experience.
In a video released on Monday on MLB's X page documenting the Cubs trip to Japan, the two players were seen taking photos with a recently married couple who were delighted to include Crow-Armstrong and Turner.

Crow-Armstrong and Turner gave the couple Cubs hats and posed for pictures with the bride and groom, who celebrated their special day last week at the Tokyo Sky Tree.
"We got to get them Cubs tickets," Crow-Armstrong said in the clip on X. "They said they're honeymooning in America, and we were joking with them that they were gonna come to Chicago, but if they actually do, we should get them tickets."
The recently married couple, who seemed like colossal baseball fans, happily accepted the players' offer of tickets to a Cubs game.
The two Cubs sluggers are 17 years apart but seem to be forming a bond on and off the field. Crow-Armstrong was seven years old when Turner made his MLB debut with the Baltimore Orioles in 2009.
Upon his arrival in Japan, Turner, 40, made a fashion statement and showed his appreciation for Japanese culture by donning a kimono with his Cubs hat on.

The Cubs hope Crow-Armstrong and Turner will be key contributors for an organization seeking its first National League Central Division title since 2020.
The dynamic duo will be back in action in MLB regular season play on Thursday, Opening Day, against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field.
