The Cubs are having their annual Family Days for season-ticket holders Monday and Tuesday, three sessions each day, one at 12 noon, one at 3 p.m. and one at 6 p.m.
I chose to go to the early session Monday afternoon, a fairly small gathering of about 250 or so (not surprising with kids in school, they’re expecting larger turnout for the evening sessions, perhaps as many as 2,000), and the Cubs brought out President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer to make a few remarks, moderated by Cole Wright of Marquee Sports Network.
I’ll make a few comments below about Hoyer’s remarks, but here they are in their entirety.
