I really enjoyed the 2014 minor-league baseball season. After its conclusion, the Cubs changed three of their affiliates including my favorite, Kane County. It was nothing for me to get in my truck and drive half an hour to Sycamore and then another 20 minutes to Geneva to catch the Cubs low-A baseball team. When I first heard the news that the Cubs were moving to South Bend, Indiana, I was a little disappointed. A year later I can say that was a foolish attitude.
Jason McLeod, Cubs Vice-President and Director of Scouting said the following shortly after the Cubs announced they were moving to South Bend:
We are excited to partner with South Bend and look forward to a productive relationship with the team, as well as the entire South Bend community.
