CHICAGO — Everyone expected some zaniness when Joe Maddon came to town.
He did not disappoint.
Just a day after turning Wrigley Field into a petting zoo for his players, complete with a pink flamingo, a sloth, a penguin and a snow leopard, the Cubs manager was spotted strolling the concourse before a big game in late September with yet another big cat — this one a cheetah named “Bibi” — at the end of a leash.
“Travis Wood has been giving me a lot of heat for not having any animals in the clubhouse,” Maddon recalled.
