MESA, Arizona — It’s convenient for the Cubs’ first full-squad spring workout to fall on Presidents Day, as it often does, because that allows families with school-age kids to take in some up close and personal practice from their favorite players.
That was the scene on the back fields in Mesa Monday afternoon as the full squad went through the usual drills.
I’ve written about the new Nike MLB jerseys and how many players and fans don’t like them, but honestly I wish they’d wear them on the practice fields because there are a lot of players who aren’t immediately recognizable.
