CHICAGO -- On Tuesday it was a flamingo and two snow leopards. On Wednesday, a cheetah and a Labrador.
The animals are all part of manager Joe Maddon's plan to keep the mood in his clubhouse light as the Cubs compete for the National League's first Wild Card spot. So after Maddon teamed up with the Columbus Zoo on Tuesday to bring in a variety of animals to entertain his players and their families, he opted to continue the fun.
Players took selfies and posed with the cat, named Bibi. Bibi's friend, a white Labrador that helps keep her from being stressed, joined her on the field.
