CHICAGO -- Dexter Fowler made a triumphant return to Wrigley Field on Friday, receiving his World Series ring in a pregame ceremony with the Cubs and then launching a leadoff homer in the first inning off John Lackey. By joining forces with that team from St. Louis, Fowler knows he probably committed a cardinal sin in the eyes of some fans of the Chicago Cubs.
Fowler, though, expected to get a pass on Friday when he took the field for the first time at Wrigley Field in a Cardinals uniform because of his role in the Cubs' World Series title last season.
