LOS ANGELES – The last month has been a whirlwind for Cubs’ third baseman Patrick Wisdom as he’s gone from relatively unknown to one of the most talked about players on the team. Wisdom burst onto the scene in June and has made his presence felt by slugging 10 home runs this month in just 74 at-bats.
Wisdom’s June has not only been eye-opening for anyone watching what he’s been able to do over the last four weeks, but also to himself.
After brief cups of coffee with the Cardinals and Rangers and plenty of time in the minor leagues, getting a real opportunity with the Chicago Cubs is something that isn’t lost on Wisdom amid the success.
