Today's Cubs birthdays include a former all-star who cost the Cubs dearly, a man named Prunes, and a Mexican no-hitter.
It's also my son Johnny's birthday, and this is one of my favorite Wrigley Field moments with him.
The A/V club today features a walk-off homer in the 1964 All Star Game.
And in today's Cubs news, it sounds like Nate Schierholtz is on the trading block, Javy Baez will be seeing some time at 2B & 3B soon, Junior Lake will get a chance to be the leadoff man (he batted in that spot yesterday), Old Style beer may not be gone from Wrigley Field after all, and Justin Ruggiano is on fire (he's hitting over .500 in spring training).
