Cubs eat caviar

The spread in the Cubs clubhouse before last night's game included caviar. I'm not kidding. Paul Sullivan has the details in the Tribune this morning...

The Cubs have the highest average ticket price in baseball, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that the team served caviar in its pregame spread before Monday night's game against the Padres at Wrigley Field. Manager Lou Piniella joked about the expensive delicacy to clubhouse man Tom Hellmann before the game, saying: "Hell, if we were in first place, we'd have a chef from France in here."
