WRIGLEYVILLE — Theo Epstein might not be a master of disguise.
The Cubs' team president donned a fake mustache and goatee and baseball cap to hide his face while watching the Cubs play at Wrigley Field on Friday.
The Cubs, who a day earlier clinched the National League Central Title, won the game. Fans went wild and said they were ready to celebrate nabbing the division title.

At one point, the mustache and goatee were apparently handed off to Cubs owner Tom Ricketts.
