It’s day 3 of our trip through the Cubs full-season minor league affiliates ahead of Thursday’s opener and today we visit the Cubs’ Double-A affiliate, the Tennessee Smokies.
I’m saying this in all of my previews (and be sure to check out the South Bend Cubs preview and the Myrtle Beach Pelicans preview) but I want to encourage you to see one of the minor league affiliates this summer or, barring that, a different minor league team closer to where you live. Minor League Baseball is a terrific value and most teams find something fun for everyone in the family to do.
