When I hear ‘Jason Kipnis‘ – I think of that foul ball he hit down the right field line in the 2016 World Series that, off the bat, stopped my heart. Thankfully, it was just that – a foul ball – and the Chicago Cubs went on to win their first title in over a century.
But now, Kipnis is in camp with the Cubs, looking to win the second base job. His signing with Chicago represents a full circle, given he grew up in the suburbs, coming to Wrigley Field for games as a fan.
