Though he wasn’t on the team when the Cubs won the World Series last November, Adam Warren will be going home with some new jewelry.
The 29-year-old pitcher was the latest former Cub who received his championship ring prior to Friday’s Cubs-Yankees game at Wrigley Field.
But this one wasn’t like others. It took place in the visitor’s bullpen underneath the bleachers.
“It just happened to me that way,” Warren said. “(Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer) were trying to catch me at the right time. I think they saw me out in the field so we did it in the bullpen.
