First, baseball fans and Cubs fans in particular are invited to join the Champaign-Urbana Baseball Stalwarts in the Parade of Lights that starts at 6 p.m. Saturday. We're No. 43 in the parade order (Santa Claus, who is No. 56, apparently wanted us to be near him) and we will assemble before the parade near the corner of Washington and Neil streets. Look for the Cubbie Blue pickup truck decorated in Cubs-related lights. The weather should be terrific for this short and lively parade; the National Weather Service says it will be 41 degrees with winds around 8 mph.
