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 third of five Spring Training “Today in Cubs history” articles. Hope you enjoy.
Country music singer Garth Brooks is a huge baseball fan. He’s convinced several teams to allow him to play briefly for them in Spring Training games, all for charity (see below).
