A few final thoughts about the Tokyo Series
Outside the Tokyo Dome before the first Cubs/Dodgers game Al Yellon Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. His latest book about the Cubs is "Chicago Cubs Firsts." Find him on Bluesky at @bleedcubbieblue.bsky.social
I returned to Chicago on the longest Monday ever — leaving Tokyo’s Haneda Airport at 6:20 p.m. local time and arriving at O’Hare at 4:05 p.m. CT. That gave me a full Monday in Tokyo and allowed me to arrive home to catch the last few innings of the Cubs/Braves game on Marquee. (Thanks to Josh for recapping spring games while they were going on in the middle of the night where I was!)
