In a game that may be remembered more for a single moment of inebriated infamy, the Cubs took Game 1 of a four-game set with the Metropolitans 4-3. Then again, one classless woman can’t overshadow those participating in the pink-out for breast cancer awareness.
I’ll get to the game in a minute, but I just want to say that I really like how the Cubs handle events like this. The NFL’s observance seems overwrought and disingenuous, but the Save Second Base shirts strike me as innocently irreverent and fun while still conveying a message. And the survivors who sang the stretch did a hell of a lot better than most previous groups.
