The Cubs released a preliminary schedule of 2020 promotions and giveaways at the Cubs Convention last weekend.
Among them is something called the “Craig Kimbrel Grow-a-Beard.” I’m not sure exactly what this is, and no photo is yet available. What I really do hope is that it will be something fans actually want by May 9, which is the scheduled giveaway date. Hopefully, Kimbrel’s performance will be good enough over the season’s first few weeks to make people actually want these.
I’m sorry to have to report to you that once again, Cubs promotional items (at least most of those listed on the preliminary schedule) are going to be limited to “up to the first 10,000 fans.
