- Tenacity on the field. Generosity off the field. An NLCS MVP and World Series Champion, Jon Lester's impact during his time with the Cubs goes far beyond his performance on the mound. He is a leader and a role model.
Thank you for everything, Jon. #NVRQT

The pitcher who truly changed the cubs
Lester and Ross were a great duo.
@@xTHEmuffinMAN1x agreed
Arguably the greatest free agency signing in Chicago sports history
@Eliot Jurgensen plus we got Zobrist with him. He helped out just a little in the WS, lol.
@@Mikki44 yeah that double base it
Retire #34!! For both Big Jon and Kid K!
He's one of very few numbers from 2016 worth retiring!
We did him dirty not letting him finish out his career with us... But will always love you Jon, go get it at the Nats!
Not dirty. It's business. He's no longer an ace. 3rd starter at best. Frankly, I was hoping they'd resign him and put him in the bullpen.
@@ScottieContact you're right, he is a 3rd starter at best. Still worth the $5M we wouldn't give him though.
@@ry.the.stunner Does the "Ry" in your name pay homage to Ryne Sandberg?
Not as dirty as my Red Sox did 😠
I’m not even a Cubs fan but I’ve always liked this guy. It kills me to see that WS team slowly dismantled.
It hurts my heart ❤️ as a cubs fan
The signing of Jon really showed the league that the Cubs were going to be for real
2016 World Series Champion! Fly the W
At least we can die at peace
We will miss u John "one of the greatest Cubs pitchers ever alive"
If he doesnt retire at the end of the year, bring him back
Yessssss
Amen brother
wanted to retire as a cub and they never offered him a single contract. shame on the ricketts for disrespecting him on his way out
Yes they did, at the last minute and nowhere near the Nats offer.
Screw the Ricketts family ! The club won the series in 2016 and now its back to mediocrity and the owners lining their pockets with the highest ticket prices in MLB . See you in 110 more years !
@@RWildekrav66 without the Ricketts there would be no World Series!
It's business. He's not good anymore. He's a 3rd starter at best. Love the man but he's old and he doesn't have it anymore
@@Mikki44 just like the Red Sox after they won in 2004 with ticket prices, etc. and when they screwed Lester 😠
The best signing in Cubs history right here❤️💙
There's baseball & there's CUBS baseball. Thanks for the memories Jon!
To a Pitcher we couldn’t win without.
Thank you Lester!
So hard to see him go. But he came to Chicago to do one thing. Win the whole stinking thing. #FlyTheW #ThanksBigJon
I will miss him🥺🥺
Jon will forever be a Chicago Cub to me...
#ThankYouJon #AlwaysACub #WeKnewYouWereHere
Thank you Jon! I'll never forget your efforts with this team. A world series title would never have been possible without your unbelievable leadership! I wish you nothing but luck in the future!
Really ? He would have played for way less and you still didn't keep him. I wonder about that front office sometimes. Way to go management. Letting go a true Cub and a damn good pitcher. Ya could have let him finish out his carrier in Chicago. Well at least Davy and the Nationals know what their getting. A damn good Cubs pitcher and a great human being. Good luck Jon. I'll be rooting for ya......
Cubs are broke! We're gonna be cellar dwellers again.
Same here man
And ended up his career in the Cardinals
Miss you already, 34! Thanks for all the W's you made fly in Chicago!
I’m not crying... you are! Thanks Jon!
He will be missed 😢
Beast!
Dude won it for Chicago!
He had an outstanding, outstanding 2016. 2.44 era in 32 regular season games. Pitched well in the playoffs. Dude is a hof and Chicago legend
When he retires have him as a cubs Coach!
Thank you to John for finally giving us such a great captain, leader, and competitor for a few years, gonna miss you Big John!! Also how can the Cubs be so freaking greedy with money that they cant bring him back for one more year what a shame.......this is one upset Cubs Fan!!
Same here man
Really does feel like the end of an era. Thank you Big Jon! Gonna miss the Cubs golden age.
The 2016 team is starting to fall apart
@@DunkMan11 you’ve really said it before it happened… with rizzo and Bryant gone now
Alright then who is with me I want the Cubs to win while Jon Lester is watching the World Series let’s make 2021 the best year ever
They couldn’t score a run in 2 games against the Marlins, the team is even worse now. But hey, I’m all for wishful thinking my friend.
@@bigal8730 They did score a run though. It was only one run, but they still scored one.
@@ry.the.stunner oh that’s right 1 run in 27 innings.
Lester was such a F'ing gamer. I literally lost sleep as a Sox fan following his Free Agency and days after his decision. Happy for him and his success with the Cubs and just wish he was a Sox lifer.
Thanks Jon!! It’s been nice having the privilege to watch you!! Hope everything goes well!!
But always will love jon Lester 💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks For Everything Jon Lester 😭😭😭
He was the reason we won the World Series
So much nostalgia i cant even explain it, i grew up and lived in Washington state 14 yrs of my life like Jon lived in Washington
Thank you for being who you are and because of that Cubs fans can say remember that world series win! I SURE DO AND WILL NEVER FORGET THAT YEAR! Thanks for being apart of every Cubs fan hopes and dreams!! #ThankYou34 #lefthandsup
One of the beat playoff pitchers in mlb history....thanks jon you will be missed
A true class act. I'm not a Cubs fan but I AM a Jon Lester fan. Thanks for the memories man.
Without a doubt the biggest free agency signing in Cubs history. Wish he could of finished his career here. Thank you Jon.
Thank you for all you did for our Cubbies, Jon!! It's really sad to see you go. I wish it weren't so. God bless you and your family. 🕊 and ❤
No se fue :( siempre fuiste mi pitcher favorito
Much respect jon Lester down to earth good dude
I was at that game where he picked someone off..
..standing in line to grab a beer ☹️
Some dude behind me: "Lester just picked someone off?!'
I think it might have been Tommy Pham?
Thank you John . One of the greatest times to be a Cub fan
A true cubs legend
Jon Lester, a Big Thank You and God Bless as well as your family!!🙏🙏😢😥
He was amazing for us
Thanks for the memories and the ring
Thank you for bringing us cub fans a world series! You'll always be in our hearts!
This made me cry I'm not even gonna lie
And the thing that hurts is that jon lester pitched game 7 in the world series
Who downvoted? I will find them and avenge you, Jon!
My guess is the downvote has nothing to with Jon but everything to do with the present state of the Cubs organization and how much they're shitting the bed.
Uh.. how?
long time fan here not ashamed to say this video brought tears to my eyes
Thanks Jon for helping the Cubs bring us that world series championship. You and your teammates will be legends in Chicago forever for that.
I'm not crying, you're crying
I was there the day he got strikeout 2000 and his first HR. Awesome day at Wrigley. We are forever thankful to you Jon Lester!!!
Thanks Jon. Miss you
Thank you Jon for all you did. It wasn't the ending we wanted but great memories will last forever!
I love these thank you videos. 💙💙💙 This was really sweet 💙💙💙
Jon Lester is more than worthy of being in the Hall of Fame.
He brought the team a long way
Thanks, Jon! Gonna miss ya.
Thanks for the memories Jon , thanks for everything !
We love you lester
Evan as a Mets fan...this is a good video. Now in the NL East I get to see some more Lester
Thank you John
Thanks Jon
This man is a legend!! I wish he had us their that sucked. but it was an amazing ride to go on with us cubs!!!
Thank you jon Lester! We will truly miss you!
Huge fan !! And he will definitely be missed
I know Big Jon didnt have much left in the tank. But you brought Lackey in when he had NOTHING left. Lester was a LEADER both on and off the field and should have been brought back to be the #5 this year so fans at least got a chance to see him in a Cubs Uniform and say Thank you fr what he brought to this Team.
Thanks for everything, Jon! All the best to you with the Nats.🧸⚾️😘
Im heartbroken and ashamed that the Cubs was not willing to let you ride it out as a Cub!
IM CRYING, LITERALLY
Thank you, Jon
we owe a lot to Big Jon.
He was a beast
Thank you Jon for a great six years as a Cub! ⚾️
Thank you jon lester
Don’t cry because he left, smile because he was here
I Miss him a lot
Thank you for all you’ve Done 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️⚾️
I’ll miss him 😭
Thanks for everything big J
😥 miss you John plz be a Coach
3:20 I was there! That homerun was crazy! I think the final score of the game was 16-4 or something crazy!
I’m not crying, you are 😅
Best free agent signing in Cubs history and it's not close
gosh dang it cubs
Jon Lester's free agent signing has been worth every cent of it.
The Ricketts was too cheap to sign Lester in 2021.
As far as I'm concerned, the Lester signing should go down as one of the best free agent signing in MLB history.
You will be missed sir
Thank you Lester
💙
I know we're rebuilding or cutting payroll or whatever they think they are doing, but this one hurts. I think that Lester would bring WAY more than $4 million worth of value to all of our new young pitchers by showing them the right way to play the game.
He will be missed, and I will be rooting for him.
Now that Jon is with the Cardinals he will get into the Hall of Fame. Be happy for him. Also I was debating this with some friends in St Louis but is it safe to say the Cubs dynasty is now officially over?
❤️❤️
Sorry to see you go
Thank Jon you'll be missed with you could have retired with the CUBS Thanks for all you've done.
THANKS!
Omg 😳 wow
❤️ JL34
Bye bye Jon Lester you where the best
Big jon 34
Don't cry because its over smile cause it happened -Dr Seuss
Its not looking good for the cubs right now but I'll tell you that in the nearby future a young kid with the number 21 will come up and change this organization forever and bring many championships to the north side if chicgao once again. Just you wait and see.
