EDITOR’S NOTE: This is another in a series of Cubs spring training history articles I wrote when it appeared the lockout could cancel more spring games.
Now, of course, we have baseball, but by gum, I wrote these so you’re going to get to read them, even on game days. This is the fifth and last of five Spring Training “Today in Cubs history” articles. Hope you enjoy.
Sub-two hour games are nearly a thing of the past in Major League Baseball. The last one anywhere in MLB happened May 19, 2019, a 1:59 game between the Marlins and Mets.
