It has been one year, nearly to the day, since I sat in the stands at Wrigley Field and watched the Chicago Cubs lose the NL Wild Card Game to the Colorado Rockies. Given how the season ended, it was hardly shocking – but I still couldn’t help holding out hope, right down to that final out.
On Tuesday night, the 2019 postseason kicked off. It’s safe to say that this game set the tone for October, perfectly mirroring Major League Baseball’s ‘We Play Loud’ campaign that kicked off earlier in the day on social media.
