WATCH: Javy Baez gets standing ovation after tribute video

'El Mago' is still a fan favorite.

Former Chicago Cubs shortstop Javy Baez is back at Wrigley Field for the first time since he was traded.

The Cubs displayed a nice tribute video on the video board during pregame, and after getting a standing ovation, he thanked the crowd with a curtain call.
