Milwaukee’s Pfister Hotel has a spiritual history, and many MLB players feel the hotel is haunted. The latest player to be a victim of the haunting is Angels rookie first baseman Ji-Man Choi, who claims he felt a ghost at the hotel on Sunday night.
Angels first baseman Ji-Man Choi was asked how he slept.
“Oh,” he said, shaking his head. “Not good. Not good.”
Choi felt a ghost on Sunday night.
Choi was clueless about the hotel’s history with hauntings, and this also isn’t the first time he’s felt a ghost before.
The first time, Choi said, was shortly after back surgery in 2011. He felt a spirit on his chest that awoke him, and then he felt the bed slump.
“I was scared at first,” Choi said, “so I didn’t want to open my eyes. I dealt with that a lot more times after that.”
Another time, Choi claims to have been laying on his side when he felt a spirit crawling up behind him, then felt a hug and heard some murmuring in his ear. Other South Korean Minor League players, the only ones he could communicate with at the time, claimed to have felt the same thing.
Well, that’s…just a bit terrifying.
Choi grounded out in the ninth inning to end the game as the Angels fell to the Brewers 8-5 on Monday night. There’s no words on whether or not Jered Weaver, who allowed seven runs on 11 hits in five innings, also felt a ghost on Sunday night, which would have been a great excuse for his poor performance.
Choi feels that the next person the ghost will visit will be the player staying in the room next to him, Angels right fielder Kole Calhoun. Calhoun went 1/4 with a single on Monday night.
