Chapter 1: What recent achievement did the Cubs accomplish?
The talent that's here and the talent that is continuing to develop here. We obviously have some mainstay guys like Ian Happ.
Ian Happ. Cubs all-star outfielder. And I've seen a lot of guys play the outfield, but I think he's the best left fielder that we've ever seen in a Cub uniform. And I've been here 31 years. Gold Glove Award winner. And they're not playing great baseball. High fly ball, deep left field. Get out the tape measure. Long gone for Ian Happ. All the way on to Waveland Avenue.
That's one of the longer home runs I've ever seen Ian hit as a right-handed batter.

Connect Roasters coffee enthusiast. Here's a man that probably has five fresh pots a day. On 104.3 The Score. We toast you, Ian Happ.

Ian, how are you?
Good. How are you guys doing?
We are good. I would ask you how the weather is in San Diego, but I think I know. Are you guys enjoying it out there, at least from that standpoint?
Yeah, it's pretty nice. We're not complaining about it at all. It gets a little chilly at night, though, a little chilly, but not Chicago cold. So it's very nice to have a week on the West Coast weather-wise.
