EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in a series of Cubs spring training history articles I wrote when it appeared the lockout could cancel more spring games.
Now, of course, we have baseball, but by gum, I wrote these so you’re going to get to read them, even on game days. This is the fourth of five Spring Training “Today in Cubs history” articles. Hope you enjoy.
Spring games in the Cactus League don’t get called off or stopped very often, because generally the weather in the Phoenix area during late February and March is excellent — temperatures in the 70s to low 80s and unlimited sunshine.
