Five years ago, on April 10, 2012, Jeff Baker was playing first base while Anthony Rizzo was in Triple-A Iowa. Darwin Barney was at second base, while Javy Baez was six weeks from starting in low Class-A Peoria. Ian Stewart was at third base while Kris Bryant was at the University of San Diego.
Paul Maholm was the starter and try to guess the trio of relievers who followed him in a 7-4 loss to Milwaukee that dropped the Cubs to 1-4. If you guessed Rodrigo Lopez, Rafael Dolis and Lendy Castillo, ding ding, you win a malt cup from the dark depths of the Wrigley Field freezer.
