CHICAGO -- The Chicago Cubs next theme trip is an ode to the NBA Finals as pitcher Jon Lester and strength coach Tim Buss handed out track suits to the entire team for their three-city tour through the NL East which begins in Philadelphia on Monday.
"In Philly you have to wear it on the bus," manager Joe Maddon said as he sported his track suit jacket Saturday morning. "Very NBA. It's the Jon Lester tribute to the NBA Finals road trip."
Maddon approved of the idea as he enjoys when his players take ownership of team bonding experiences.
