MESA, Ariz. — A piece of Cubs manager Craig Counsell’s heart will spend the upcoming season 10 miles north of Wrigley Field, along the Evanston lakefront.

Jack Counsell is a Northwestern sophomore and a middle infielder on the baseball team, in his first year at the school after transferring from Michigan.

Before heading to spring training, a Sun-Times reporter made a little stop Friday and asked Jack — 6-0, 180 pounds just like his father — to share his baseball dream.
