Miguel Vargas, a first baseman for the White Sox and originally from Cuba, became a Minnesota Vikings fan after attending a game with his friend Michael Busch. Vargas and Busch, who played together in the Dodgers' minor league system, formed a strong bond since 2019. The Vikings' victory over the Saints captivated Vargas, leading to his newfound fandom. Despite their competitive roles in the Crosstown Classic, Vargas regards Busch as more than just a friend, reflecting on the support he received while learning English in the minor leagues.
"He got me into it, so I'm a Vikings fan now," Vargas said.
"It's always a good time when I see him. He's more than my friend. I feel like he's my brother," Vargas said.
"My English wasn't very good then. I think [Busch] helped me a lot with my translation, my English," Vargas said.
"He always tried to help me. Almost everybody on that team really helped." Vargas said.
